Question

By selling a cycle for Rs 2000/a person gains 1/5 of the selling price find the cost price​

Answer 1

Answer:

Before we start, it’s important to note here that it is not 15% to be added to 5% to make it a total of 20%.

Let the other profit percent be x.

Then, our equation looks like this.

105/100 * 2500 + [(100+x)/100] * 2500 = 120/100 * 5000 → x= 35.

Hence, if he makes a profit of 35% on the second, it comes to a total of 20% profit on the whole.

Answer 2

Answer:

Cost price of the cycle =1200 

Selling price of the cycle =1500

SP>CP ⟹ there is a gain.

$$ Gain=SP-CP

=1500−1200

=300

∴ Gain Percentage =CPGain(100)

=1200300×100

=25%

∴ The shopkeeper makes a profit of 25%.
