​

Answer 1

Answer:

• Given - 1000 electric bulbs

- 1 bulb = 16 rs

- 100 bulb damaged

• To find - S.p

• Solution -

Cost of 1000 bulbs

1 bulb = 16 rs ( given )

1000 bulb = ?

1000 × 16

16,000 rs.

C.p = 16,000 rs

S.p = c.p + profit.

Condition given in question -

100 bulb damaged. cost of that bulb

16 × 100

1600 rs ( this much cost has to be subtract from the initial cost price as it is not used in selling)

16000 - 1600

15400 rs.

S.p = C.p + profit.

profit percentage = profit × 100 / c.p

12.5 % = profit × 100 / 15400

12.5 × 15400/100 = profit

12.5 × 154

1925 rs

S.p = 15400 + 1925

= 17,325 rs

Answer 2

Answer:

SP=₹16200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

cost price of 1 bulb=₹16

cost price of 1000 bulbs=₹16000

cost price of 100 bulbs=₹1600

If damaged bulb are 100

then,cost of remaining bulbs=16000-1600=₹14400

profit%=12.5%

CP=(SP×100)÷(100+Profit%)

14400=(SP×100)÷(100+12.5)

SP=(14400×(100+12.5))÷100

SP=₹16200
