Question

A boutique owner gains 25% by selling ties at₹155 a piece.How much profit will she make by selling 200 of them?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

Selling price of a tie =Rs. 155

gain on it=25%

Cost price of the tie=(CP)=(100×S)/(100+g)

=>CP=(100×155)/(100+25)

=>CP=155×100)/125

=>CP=(31×4×125)/125

=>CP=31×4 (cancelling 125)

=>CP= Rs.124

Cost price of the tie=Rs.124

Profit = Selling Price-Cost Price

=>Profit =155-124=31

Profit on 1 tie= Rs. 31

Profit on 200 ties =200×31=6200

The owner gets Rs. 6200 profit by selling 200 ties
