Question

A typewriter sold for Rs 1500. The gross profit is 2/3 of the cost, what are the cost and the gross profit?

Answer 1

S.P = 1500
Profit = 2/3 C.P

2/3..... 3(C.P)====5(S.P)
Given 5 parts===1500
1 part ===300
3 parts == 900
Hence C.P = Rs.900
Gross Profit = 1500-900 = Rs.600
[P% = 600/900 * 100 =66.67%]
Hope it helps

Answer 2

$\fontsize{18}{10}{\textup{\textbf{Cost = Rs. 900 and Gross profit=Rs. 600.}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:  

Let the cost price of the typewriter be Rs. x.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$\textup{Gross profit}=\dfrac{2}{3}\times x=\dfrac{2}{3}x.$

Since the selling price of the typewriter is Rs. 1500, so we get

$x+\dfrac{2}{3}x=1500\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5}{3}x=1500\\\\\Rightarrow 5x=4500\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{4500}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow x=900.$

Therefore, the gross profit is

$\dfrac{2}{3}\times900=600.$

Thus, cost price and gross profit are Rs. 900 and Rs. 600 respectively.
