Step-by-step explanation:
Given A retailer purchases 25 identical toys for a price Rs. P and sold some of them for Rs. p. if he calculated his profit as 8% with selling price as base instead of cost price then how many toys did he sell?
- Given cost of 25 identical toys will be Rs P
- Therefore cost of one toy will be P / 25
- So percentage profit will be selling price – cost price / cost price
- So profit was 8% with selling price as base instead of cost price, so cost price to selling price.
- So 8/100 = P – a P / 25 / P
- 8/100 = 25 P – a P / 25 P
- 2/25 = P (25 – a) / 25 P
- 25 – a = 2
- 25 – 2 = a
- Or a = 23
- so he sold 23 toys.
