23.4

Step-by-step explanation:

here we apply the formula for selling price.

Answer 2

Cost price = £18

Selling price = ?

Profit %= 30%

Profit% = (profit ÷ Cost price) × 100

⇒ 30 = (profit ÷18) × 100

⇒profit = (30 x 18) ÷ 100

⇒540÷100

⇒ 5.4

Profit=5.4

Selling price = Cost price + profit

Selling price = 18 + 5.4

⇒£23.4
