(D)An item was sold for 540 at a loss of 5%. What was its cost price?

Answer 1

a) profit =SP-CP

=400-375

=25

profit%=profit /CP x 100

=25/375 x 100

6.67%

b)

112%of CP is SP

112/100 x 50

SP =56

c)

105%of x is 250

105/100 x x=250

x=250x100/150

CP=238.09

d)

95% of x is 540

95/100x x=540

x=540x 100/95

x = 658.42

Answer 2

Answer:

A. cp of the chair =375

sp of the chair =400

there is profit

profit = 400-375

profit=₹25

profit percent =25/375 ×100

that is 20/3%

that is 6 2/3 percent

B. cp of the item is 50

profit percent is 12%

sp =50×(100+12) /100

sp =₹ 56

profit is 5%

cp=250×100/100+5

=238 2/ 21%

D. sp of item is 540

loss%= 5

cp= 540×100/100-5

=₹59 9/19
