Question

A can earn 10% profit , if he sells his product at rs 3600. what was the cost price of his product in Ru.pees?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost price = 3240

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling price of the product = 3600

Profit= 10% of 3600

= 10/100*3600

= 360.

Applying formula

Selling price(S.P) - Profit = Cost price

3600- 360 = Cost price(C.P)

3240= Cost price

Hence 3240 rupees is the cost price of the product

Answer 2

Given: A can earn 10% profit and selling price is rupees 3600.

To find: The cost price

Solution:

Let us assume the cost price is denoted by CP and the selling price is denoted by SP.

Now, SP is 3600 and the profit is 10%

We will now apply the formula, cost price= 100/100+p into the selling price

                                                                    =  100/100+10 into 3600

                                                                    =  100/110 into 3600

This will us the cost price as 32,727(approx).

The cost price is rupees 32,727.
