Question

a wholesaler purchased a TV set of rs12000he sold it at a profit of 10percent the retailer sold it to customers for rs14784 find the profit earned by retailer

Answer 1

12000+12000×10/100=13200
14784_13200=1584
so the retailer earned rs 1584

Answer 2

Wholesaler's CP= 12000.
Profit percent-10%.
So SP= CP(1+profit/100).
= 12000(1+ 10/100).
= 12000(110/100).
= 13200Rs
So retailer's CP= 13200Rs
SP = 14784Rs
Profit= Sp-Cp.
= 14784-13200Rs
= 1584Rs.
Hope it helps.
