Answer 1

Answer:

okay your answer is downside

Step-by-step explanation:

firstly add all the money spent by dealer that is 160000+4000=164000; so it's cp will be 164000 and its it's sp will be 205000 so to it is profit then subtract cp from sp (sp-cp)(205000-164000) that means its profit is 41000

its profit is 41000 then p%= p/cp*100

41000/164000*100

=41/64*100

so, 41*100/64=64.0625%

Answer 2

Answer:

The gain percent in the transaction was 25.

Step-by-step-explanation:

We have given that,

• Cost price of goods = ₹ 160000
• Cost of transporting goods = ₹ 4000
• Selling price of goods = ₹ 205000

We have to find the gain or loss percent.

Now,

Total cost price = Cost price of goods + Cost of transporting goods

⇒ Total cost price = ₹ 160000 + ₹ 4000

⇒ Total cost price = ₹ 164000

And

Selling price = ₹ 205000

∴ Selling price > Cost price

∴ There was gain in the transaction.

Now, we know that,

Gain = Selling price - Cost price

⇒ Gain = ₹ 205000 - ₹ 164000

⇒ Gain = ₹ 41000

Now, we know that,

$\displaystyle{\boxed{\pink{\sf\:Gain\:\%\:=\:\dfrac{Gain}{Cost\:price}\:\times\:100\:}}}$

$\displaystyle{\implies\sf\:Gain\:\%\:=\:\dfrac{41\:\cancel{000}}{164\:\cancel{000}}\:\times\:100}$

$\displaystyle{\implies\sf\:Gain\:\%\:=\:\dfrac{41}{\cancel{164}}\:\times\:\cancel{100}}$

$\displaystyle{\implies\sf\:Gain\:\%\:=\:\cancel{\dfrac{41}{41}}\:\times\:25}$

$\displaystyle{\implies\sf\:Gain\:\%\:=\:1\:\times\:25}$

$\displaystyle{\therefore\:\underline{\boxed{\red{\sf\:Gain\:\%\:=\:25\:}}}}$

∴ The gain percent in the transaction was 25.
