Question

A book seller sold 200 copies of books at a prifit of 20% . If a book costs him Rs 70 , find the tital SP of the book

Answer 1

cp of a book =(200*70=14000)
sp=?
profit=20%
sp=cp(100+g%/100)
sp=14000(100+20/100)


sp=(120/100)14000
sp=6/5*14000
sp=16800 ANS

Answer 2

Answer:

Given:

• A book seller sold 200 copies of books at a profit of 20%.

Find:

• If a book costs him Rs 70, find the total SP of the books.

Remember:

• 200 copies = 200 (70) = 14000

Using formula:

⇢ $\tiny{\sf{\underline{\boxed{\blue{\sf{ Profit = \dfrac{Cost \: price \times Profit \: percentage}{100} }}}}}}$

Calculations:

⇢ $\sf{\dfrac{14000 \times 20}{100}}$

⇢ ${\sf{\underline{\boxed{\pink{\sf{2800 }}}}}}$

Using the above value, we get:

⇢ $\sf{14000 + 2800}$

⇢ ${\sf{\underline{\boxed{\pink{\sf{16800}}}}}}$

Therefore, 16800 is total selling price of the books.
