The Mp of coke is 20%more than its purchased price. if the coke was sold after 15%duscount, there will be gain of rs.40,find the M. p and Cp

let cp be x

mp= x+ (20% 0f x)= 1.2x

sp = mp -d%of mp= 1.2- 15% *1.2 =1.02x

profit = 40

sp-cp =40

1.02x-x=40

x=2000

cp =2000

mp= 1.2*2000=2400

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15
