Question

A person sold 20 dining tables for Rs. 5,39,000; thereby gaining the cost price of five dining tables. Find the cost price of each dining table.

A.

Rs. 26,950

B.

Rs. 25,000

C.

Rs. 21,560

D.

Rs. 27,855

Correct option is C

Given:

Total selling price of 20 dining tables = Rs. 5,39,000

Gain = Cost price of 5 dining tables

Formula Used:

Selling price = Cost price + Gain

Gain = Number of items × Gain per item

Solution:

Let the cost price of each dining table be x

Total cost price of 20 tables = 20x

Gain on 20 tables = 5x

Selling price of 20 tables = Cost price of 20 tables + Gain

Thus,

5,39,000 = 20x + 5x

5,39,000 = 25x

x = 5,39,00025\frac{5,39,000}{25}​ = 21,560

Thus, the cost price of each dining table is Rs. 21,560
