Question

A shopkeeper buys 80 articles for ₹ 2,400 and sells them for a profit of 16%. Find the selling price

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 2784

Step-by-step explanation:

C.P. = Rs. 2400

C.P. of one article = 2400/80

= Rs. 30

Profit on one article = 16/100*10 = Rs 4.8

Profit on 80 articles = 80 * profit on one article

= 80 * 4.8

= Rs.384

S.P. = C.P. + Profit

S.P. = 2400 + 384 = Rs. 2784

Answer 2

$\sf \Large Solution!!$

$\sf \to CP\:of\:80\:articles=Rs.\:2,400$

$\sf \to CP\:of\:1\:article=Rs.\:\dfrac{2,400}{80}$

$\sf \to =Rs.\:30$

$\sf \to Profit\%=\dfrac{SP-CP}{CP}\times 100$

$\sf \to 16=\dfrac{SP-30}{3\cancel 0}\times 10\cancel 0$

$\sf \to 16\times 3=(SP-30)\times 10$

$\sf \to \dfrac{48}{10}=SP-30$

$\sf \to 4.8=SP-30$

$\sf \to SP=30+4.8$

$\sf \bigstar SP\:of\:1\:article=Rs.\:34.8$

$\sf \bigstar SP\:of\:80\:articles=Rs.\:34.8\times 80=Rs.\:2,784$
