Question

2. A man makes a profit of 5% by selling a book. If his actual profit is Rs. 125, at what price did he purchase the book? Find it.​ Please help​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given that the SP of a book =Rs.230

Profit%=15

Since

CP=(SP×100)÷(100+profit %)

CP=(230×100)÷(100+15)

CP=23000÷115=Rs.200

Also,

Profit=SP−CP=Rs.(230−200)=Rs.30

Actual profit=Rs.30

C.P.=Rs200,Profit=Rs30

Answer 2

Answer:

Profit=5%

Profit=125 rupees

SP=125/5*100

SP=25*100

SP=2500

CP=2500-125

CP=2375
