Answer :

Let, the cost price of the goods is 100 Tk.

By this 100 Tk. he actually bought goods @ 15% profit = (100+15% of 100) Tk. = 100+15=115 tk.

At 10% loss,

Selling price of the goods be= $(115 - 10 % o f 115) = (115 - \frac{10 \times 115}{100}) = 115 - 11.5 = 103.5$ Tk.

His overall gain = 103.5-100=3.5 Tk.

When gain is 3.5 Tk. Cost price = $\frac{100 \times 3500}{3.5}$

ans. Real cost of the goods is 100,000 TK.
