Answer 2

Answer:

The cost price is Rs. 200 and Profit is Rs. 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Profit = 15%

Selling price = Rs. 230

To find :

The Cost Price and Profit

Solution :

★ Cost price -

${\boxed{\sf\:{CP = \frac{100}{(100 + profit\%)} \times SP}}}$

⇒ CP = 100/(100 + 15) × 230

⇒ CP = 100/(115) × 230

⇒ CP = 100 × 2

⇒ CP = 200

Cost Price = Rs. 200

★ Profit -

$\boxed{\sf{Selling\: Price-Cost\: Price}}$

⇒ Profit = 230 - 200

⇒ Profit = 30

Therefore, the cost price is Rs. 200 and Profit is Rs. 30.
