The total cost of two pieces of clothing is 500 yuan. In order to make a profit, the store owner decides to price the clothing at 50% of the profit and the clothing at 40% of the profit. In actual sales, at the request of customers, the two pieces of clothing are sold at a 10% discount. In this way, the store makes a total profit of 157 yuan. How much is the cost of the two pieces of clothing?
Suppose the cost of a clothing is x yuan, then the cost of B clothing is (500-x) yuan. According to the meaning of the question: 90% · (1 + 50%) x + 90% · (1 + 40%) (500-x) - 500 = 157, the solution is: x = 300500-x = 200
The application problems of linear equation of one variable
If a certain fan is sold at a discount due to seasonal reasons, if it is sold at a 7.50% discount, it will lose 30 yuan; if it is sold at a 10% discount, it will earn 25 yuan. How much is the price/
Let the price be x yuan,
Then 0.75x + 30 = 0.9x-25
0.15x=55
X = 1100 / 3 yuan
