उत्तर

Let the cost price of the laptop be ‘x'

Gain = 12%

∴ Selling price (S.P) = `"C.P"( 1 + ("gain"%)/100)`

Substituting in formula = `x(1 + 12/100)`

= `x((100 + 12)/100)`

= `112/100 x`

If the selling price was 1200 more

i.e `112/100 x + 1200`, the gain is 20%

i.e new selling price = `x(1 + 2/100)`

= `112/100 x + 1200`

= `x(1 + 20/100)`

= `120/100x`

∴ 1200 = `120/100 x - 112/100 x`

1200 = `8/100 x`

∴ x = `(1200 xx 100)/8`

= 15000

Cost price of the laptop is ₹ 15,000/-
