Question

A TV cost rupees 24600 if a cooler cost rupees 800 more than one third of that of the TV then what is the cost price of the cooler​

Answer 1

Given:

(i) A TV cost rupees 24600.

(ii) A cooler cost rupees 800 more than one third of that of the TV.

To find:

(i) The cost price of the cooler.

Solution:

Given, the cost price of the TV is Rs 24600.

Now, the cooler costs Rs 800 more than one-third of the TV.

So, price equivalent to one-third of the CP of TV

= (1/3)*Rs 24600

= Rs 8200

CP of cooler = Rs 800 + Rs 8200

= Rs 9000

The cost price of the cooler is Rs 9000.
