Question

A Shop keeper purchased a tv set and spent Rs 715on it's transportation. On selling it for Rs 45570 he gain 24%what was the cost price of tv set.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

sp= cp+ profit

total cp= cp+ transportation charge

let the cp be X

total cp = X + 715

45,570 = (X+ 715)+(24/100)×(X+715)

solving this equation we get

45,570= (124/100) × (X+715)

36,750=(X+715)

X= Rs 36,035 is cost price of TV set

Answer 2

Given :

• Selling price of TV = Rs. 45570
• Gain = 24%

To find :

• Cost price

Solution :

$\sf{CP = \dfrac{SP}{100 + gain\%}\times 100}$

= $\sf{CP = \dfrac{45570}{100+24}\times 100}$=> CP= Rs.36750

Hence, The cost price of the TV is Rs. 36750.
