Rs. 500

Step-by-step explanation:

CP= x

SP at 5% profit= 1.05x

SP at 5% loss= 0.95x

The difference= Rs. 50

CP is Rs. 500

Rs 500

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit = 5%

Loss = 5%

For CP

Profit = 1.05x

Loss = 0.95x

Given Condition:

Let CP be x

1.05 x = 50 + 0.95x

=> 1.05x-0.95x = 50

=> 0.1 x = 50

Dividing both sides by 0.1

=> x = Rs 500
