Question

by selling a computer for ₹16875 and a profit of ₹1875 is made find the c.p and the p%(profit)

Answer 1

hi Ektha,

SP of computer = 16875 Rs
Profit = 1875 Rs

so
CP = SP - Profit
CP = 16875 - 1875
CP = 15000 Rs

Profit % = (profit / CP)* 100
= (1875 / 15000)*100
= 0.125*100
= 12.5

so CP is Rs15000 and profit % = 12.5

Hope it helped
Let me know if any doubts.
Cheers !!!
