Answer 2

Answer:

Given:

• A book seller sold 300 copies of books at a profit of 30%.

Find:

• If a book costs him Rs 15, find the total SP of the books.

Remember:

• 300 copies = 300 (12) = 3600

Using formula:

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

Calculations:

⇢ $\sf{\dfrac{3600 \times 15}{100}}$

⇢ ${\sf{\underline{\boxed{\pink{\sf{520 }}}}}}$

Using the above value, we get:

⇢ $\sf{3600+520 }$

⇢ ${\sf{\underline{\boxed{\pink{\sf{4140}}}}}}$

Therefore, 4140 is total selling price of the books.
