Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price (CP) of the television = Rs. 3200

Amount spent on repairs = Rs.560

Net CP of the television = 3200 + 560 = Rs.3760

Given, Gain% = 12.5%

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

$\sf \dashrightarrow SP = \dfrac{100 + 12.5}{100}\times 3760$

$\sf \dashrightarrow SP = \dfrac{112.5}{100}\times 3760$

$\sf \dashrightarrow SP = Rs.4230$

Alternatively:-

Net CP = Rs.3760

Gain % = 12.5%

$\sf \dashrightarrow Gain = Gain\% \: of \: C.P$

$\sf \dashrightarrow Gain = 12.5\% \times 3760$

$\sf \dashrightarrow Gain = \dfrac{12.5}{ 100}\times 3760$

$\sf \dashrightarrow Gain = Rs.470$

$\sf \dashrightarrow SP = Gain + CP$

$\sf \dashrightarrow SP = 470 + 3760$

$\sf \dashrightarrow SP = Rs.4230$

$\underline{\boxed{\sf \therefore Amount \: recieved \: by \: the \: seller = Rs.4230}}$
