By selling a flower base a shopkeeper gains 15%find its cost price

Answer 1

SP of flower vase = Rs. 600

Gain% = 15%

CP = SP × 100 /(100+gain%)

=> 600×100/115

=> 521.73

SP of flower vase = 521.73 or 522(appr.)

Answer 2

let cp be =100

sp=115

actual sp=600

therfore actual cp=100×600÷115

=6000÷115

=52.1739130435
