Question

By selling a CPU for Rs.7935, a man makes a profit of 15%. At what price should he sell it to make a

profit of 25%? (in Rs.)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given

s.p of CPU is rs.7935

profit %=15

let cost price of CPU be x

Now

sp = cost price +profit%/100*cost price

putting the values

1. 7935=X+15/100*X
2. 7935=X+3x/20
3. 7935=23x/20
4. x=7935*20*23
5. x=345*20
6. x=6900

so ,the cost price is6900.

Now,

new selling at the percentage of 25%

according to question

selling price=cost price +profit%/100*cost price

putting all the values

1. selling price =6900+25/100*6900
2. selling price=6900+1725
3. selling price =8625

so,the new selling price is 8625.
