✴ Solution :

Formula Used :

$\large{\orange{\bigstar}} \: \: {\underline{\boxed{\red{\sf{ S.P = \dfrac{100 + Profit \% }{100} \times C.P}}}}}$

Where :

• ${\twoheadrightarrow{\sf{ S.P = Selling \: Price = ?}}}$

• ${\twoheadrightarrow{\sf{ Profit\% = 15\%}}}$

Finding the Selling price :

${:\implies{\qquad{\sf{ S.P = \dfrac{100 + Profit\%}{100} \times 24000}}}}$

${:\implies{\qquad{\sf{ S.P = \dfrac{100 + 15}{100} \times 24000}}}}$

${:\implies{\qquad{\sf{ S.P = \dfrac{100 + 15}{\cancel{100}} \times 240\cancel{00}}}}}$

${:\implies{\qquad{\sf{ S.P = {115} \times 240}}}}$

$\large{\qquad \: \: \: {\red{:\implies}}}{\underline{\boxed{\purple{\sf{ 27600}}}}}{\red{\bigstar}}$

Therefore :

❝ Selling price of the 50 articles are ₹ 27600 .❞

Answer 2

Solution :

Formula :

$\Medium{{}} \: \: {\underline{\boxed{{\sf{ S.P = \dfrac{100 + Profit \% }{100} \times C.P}}}}}$

Where :

${{\sf{ S.P = Selling \: Price = ?}}}$

${{\sf{ C.P = Cost \: Price = 24000}}}$

${{\sf{ Profit\% = 15\%}}}$

Finding the Selling price :

${:\implies{\qquad{\sf{ S.P = \dfrac{100 + Profit\%}{100} \times 24000}}}}$

${:\implies{\qquad{\sf{ S.P = \dfrac{100 + 15}{100} \times 24000}}}}$

${:\implies{\qquad{\sf{ S.P = \dfrac{100 + 15}{\cancel{100}} \times 240\cancel{00}}}}}$

${:\implies{\qquad{\sf{ S.P = {115} \times 240}}}}$

$\large{\qquad \: \: \: {{:\implies}}}{\underline{\boxed{{\sf{ 27600}}}}}{{}}$

Then.

Selling price of the 50 articles are ₹ 27600 .
