Question

9. Pooja bought a house for Rs 50,59,700 and spent Rs 40,300
on its repairs, How much should she sell the house for so as
to make a profit of 3%,

Answer 1

Answer:-

To make a profit is 3%, Pooja should sell the house of Rs. 52,53,000

Explanation:-

Cost price of the house = Rs. 50,59,700

Repairing charges of the house = Rs. 40, 300

Therefore, Total cost => Rs. (50,59,700 + 40,300) = Rs. 51,00,000

Profit = 3% of Rs. 51,00,000

$= > p = \dfrac{3}{100} \times 5100000$

$= > p = rs. \: 153000$

Therefore, Selling price = Rs. (Cost price + Profit)

=> S.P = Rs.(51,00,000 + 1,53,000)

=> S.P = Rs. 52,53,000

Hence, the Selling price will be Rs. 52,53,000 if the profit is 3%.
