Answer 1

Given :

• Cost Price = Rs.25000
• Profit % = 40 %

To Find :

• Selling price = ?

$\\ \qquad{\rule{200pt}{2pt}}$

SolutioN :

$\dag$ Formula Used :

• ${\underline{\boxed{\pmb{\sf{ Selling \; Price = \bigg\lgroup \dfrac{100 + Profit \; \% }{100} \bigg\rgroup \times Cost \; Price }}}}}$

$\dag$ Calculating the Selling Price :

$\begin{gathered} \qquad \; \longrightarrow \; \; \sf { Selling \; Price = \bigg\lgroup \dfrac{100 + Profit \; \% }{100} \bigg\rgroup \times Cost \; Price } \\ \\ \\ \end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered} \qquad \; \longrightarrow \; \; \sf { Selling \; Price = \bigg\lgroup \dfrac{100 + 40 }{100} \bigg\rgroup \times 25000 } \\ \\ \\ \end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered} \qquad \; \longrightarrow \; \; \sf { Selling \; Price = \bigg\lgroup \dfrac{140 }{100} \bigg\rgroup \times 25000 } \\ \\ \\ \end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered} \qquad \; \longrightarrow \; \; \sf { Selling \; Price = \dfrac{3500000}{100} } \\ \\ \\ \end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered} \qquad \; \longrightarrow \; \; \sf { Selling \; Price = \cancel\dfrac{3500000}{100} } \\ \\ \\ \end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered} \qquad \; \longrightarrow \; \; {\underline{\boxed{\pmb{\sf { Selling \; Price = Rs. \; 35000 }}}}} \; {\red{\pmb{\bigstar}}} \\ \\ \\ \end{gathered}$

$\therefore \;$ The flock of Sheep should be sold for Rs.35000 to gain 40 % .
