profit%=20

CP=15000

Answer 2

Answer:

Selling price of the scooty = Rs 18,000

Profit= 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price of the scooty be Rs x

On cost price of Rs 100 the profit was Rs 20

Therefore the selling price of the scooty was 100+20= Rs 120

On selling price of Rs 18,000 the cost price was Rs x

18,000/x = 120/100

18,000/x = 6/5

x = 18000×5/6

x = 3000/5

x = 15000

The cost price of the scooty was Rs 15,000
