Question

A man sells a sari for ₹2100 and makes a profit of 16*2/3% . Find the cost price of sari​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

SP = cost + profit

2100 = X + 2/3X

2100 = 5/3 X

X = 2100*3/5

X= 1260

X=cost=1260

Answer 2

Answer:

SP = ₹ 2100

Gain% = 16 ²/₃%

CP = 100/(100+profit%) × SP

     = 100/(100+16 ²/₃) × 2100

     = 100/(100+⁵⁰/₃) × 2100

     = 100/³⁵⁰/₃ × 2100

     = 100 × ³/₃₅₀ × 2100

     = 2 × ³/₇ × 2100

     = ⁶/₇ × 2100

     = 6 × 300

     = 1800

Hence, the cost price of sari​ is ₹ 1800.
