Question

a man sells a sari for Rs2100 and makes a profit of 16whole2upon3 %.find the cost price of the sari with statements

Answer 1

Selling price = 2100

Profit % = 16whole2upon3 = 16.6666667 %

So,the cost price = S.P. x 100 upon 100+ Profit %

= 2100 x 100 upon 100+16.6666667

=210000 upon 116.6666667

=1800

Thus the man had bought it for RS.1800
