Question

A shirt is sold at a profit of 12 percent for rupees 672 what is the cost price of the shirt

Answer 1

Answer:

let x be the cost price.

x * 112/100 = 672

x = 672 * 100/112

x = 600₹

so, the cost price of a shirt is 600₹.

Answer 2

The cost price of the shirt is Rs. 600.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, selling price of a shirt = S.P = Rs. 672

Profit = P = 12 %

Let cost price of a shirt = C.P

P = $\frac{S.P - C.P}{C.P} \times 100$

Now, plugging the values in the formula,

=> 12 = $\frac{672-C.P}{C.P}\times 100$

=> 12 C.P = 67200 - 100 C.P

=> 12 C.P + 100 C.P = 67200

=> 112 C.P = 67200

=> C.P = $\frac{67200}{112}$ = Rs. 600

Hence, the cost price of the shirt is Rs. 600.
