Question

A dealer buys a table listed at rs 1800 and gets a discount of 25% .He spends rs 150 on transportation and sells it a profit of 10%.Find the selling price of the table?

Answer 1

1800×25/100
18×25
=450

450-150
=300

300×10/100
=30

1650

Answer 2

Dealer bought table at 1800 - 25% of 1800 = 1800 - 450 = 1350

Spent on transportation = 1350 + 150 = 1500

Sells at 10% profit

SP = 1500 + 10% of 1500 = 1500 + 10/100 * 1500 = 1500 + 150 = 1650
