Question

A man sells his scooter for 1800 making a profit of 20 %. How much did the scooter cost
him?​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 1500

Step-by-step explanation:

let the cost price of the scooter be x

Now profit of 20% on cost price is indicated as 20x/100

So, profit is 0.2x

So, Selling price = x + 0.2x

Given, Selling price is 1800

⇒ 1.2x = 1800

⇒ x = 1800/1.2

⇒ x =18000/12

⇒ x = 1500

Hence, the cost price of scooter is 1500rs
