Question

Mr.kork sold his car for 8400. This was 200 more than two fifths of what he had paid for the car originally. How much had Mr.kork paid for the car?

Answer 1

The original cost of Car at the time of purchased = 20500 unit

Explanation:

According to question ,

Mr. Kork selling cost of his Car = 8400 unit

And Selling cost is 200 more than two fifths of the purchased cost of Car .

Let the Purchased cost of car = X unit

So, AS per question

200 +
`(2)/(5)` × x = 8400

Or,
`(2)/(5)` × x = 8400 - 200

i.e
`(2)/(5)` × x = 8200

So , x = 8200 ×
`(5)/(2)`

∴ x = 4100 × 5 = 20500 unit

Hence The original cost of Car at the time of purchased = 20500 unit Answer
