Question

by selling a motorcycle for rupess 23,000 a dealear gains 15 percent find the cost price

Answer 1

Let the cost price(C.P.)=Rs x

Given S.P.=Rs 23000

And gain%=15%

So,

Gain%=S.P.−C.P.

C.P.×100

⇒15=23000−x

x.(100)

⇒15x=2300000−100x

⇒115x=2300000

⇒x=2300000/115

⇒x=20000

Hence CP of motorcycle is Rs 20000.
