Question

A furniture shop owner bought chairs for 18500 and sold them at a gain of rs 3750 .find his gain if he spent rs.225 on transportaion

Answer 1

if u meant the selling price then here u go:

cost price of furniture=18500Rs
profit=3750Rs
transportation =225Rs
selling price of furniture=Cp+profit+transportation
=18500+3750+225
=22475Rs

if u meant profit %then here u go:

cp=18500+225
=18725Rs
profit =3750Rs
profit%=profit/cp×100
=3750/18725×100
=20.02%

hope it helps u...
