Question

By selling a laptop for Rs23000 a dealer earns a profit of 15percent. Find the C.P​

Answer 1

Answer:

₹ 20,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling price of the laptop is ₹ 23,000

profit = 15%

S.P. = C.P. + 15% of C.P.t

Let the C.P. be x

$23000 = x + 15\%ofx \\ \\ 23000 = x + \frac{15x}{100} \\ 23000 = \frac{100x + 15x}{100} \\ 23000 \times 100 = 115x \\ x = \frac{23000 \times 100}{115} \\ x = 20000$
