Supriya has bought a clock. If she sells the clock at Rs. 370, her profit will be equal to the loss for selling it at Rs. 210. Let us calculate and write the cost price of the clock.

Let the cost price be X


Profit = Selling price – Cost price


Profit = Rs. 370 – X


Loss = Cost price – Selling price


Loss = X – Rs. 210


If profit = loss


Then;


Rs. 370 – X = X – Rs. 210


X+X = Rs. 370 + Rs. 210


2X = Rs. 580


X = = Rs. 290
