  1. By selling 14 watches of equal cost price at the rate of $ 450 each, there is a profit equal to the cost price of 4 watches. The cost price of a watch is
    1. $ 350
    2. $ 360
    3. $ 375
    4. $ 400
Correct Option: A

Let the CP of each watch be y.
∴ CP of 14 watches = 14y
and SP of 14 watches = $ 6300
According to the question,
6300 – 14y = 4y
⇒ 18y = 6300

⇒ y =
6300
= $ 350
18

Hence , CP of each watch is $ 350 .
