Question

By selling a laptop for ₹ 24000, a dealer earns a profit of 20%. What is its cost price?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

S.P. of two computers = 2 × Rs. 24000 = Rs. 48000.

C.P. of two computers = 100 × 24000 / 120 + 100 × 24000 / 80 = 20000 + 30000 = Rs. 50000.

Since S.P. < C.P. , so

Loss % = ( C.P. — S.P. ) × 100 ÷ C.P.

= ( 50000 — 48000 ) × 100 ÷ 50000

= 4 %

Answer 2

Answer:

Cost Price = 20,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the OP ( loss + price) of the laptop be x.

Profit % = 20%

Profit = 20/100 x = x/5

SP= CP + Profit

Rs. 24,000 = x+x/5

=> x+x/5 = RS. 24,000

=> 6x+5 = 24,000

=> x = 24000×5/6

x = RS. 20,000

Cost Price the laptop is RS. 20,000.
