Answer 1

Solution:-

given :-

1) Arun purchased an old scooter for Rs. 27,500 and spent Rs.1,720 for it’s repairing.

2) He sold the scooter to make a profit of 35%.

now,

Add purchased price and repairing price

cost price => 27500 + 1720 = Rs. 29220

selling profit => 35%

selling price => ?

so,

let,

• selling price = s.p ,
• selling profit = x,
• cost price = cp

=> (c.p/s.p)×100 = x

=> (29220/s.p)×100 = 35

=> 1/s.p = 35/(29220×100)

=> s.p = 2922000/35

=> s.p = Rs. 83485.71429

Hence, selling price of scoiter is

Rs. 83485.71429
