Question

by selling a TV for rupees 24,00 a shopkeeper makes a profit of 20 % , find the CP of the T.v​

Answer 1

Answer:

20,000

Step-by-step explanation:

SP = 24000

CP + Profit = SP

Let CP = x

x + 20% x = 24000

120%x = 24000

x = 24000 × 100 ÷ 120

x = 20,000

Answer 2

GIVEN :

• SELLING PRICE (SP) OF A TV = Rs.2400
• PROFIT% = 20%

TO FIND :

• COST PRICE (CP) OF TV

SOLUTION :

$profit\% = \frac{(sp - cp) \times 100}{cp} \\ \\ = > 20 = \frac{(2400 - cp) \times 100}{cp} \\ \\ = > 20cp = (2400 - cp) \times 100 \\ \\ = > \frac{cp}{5} = 2400 - cp \\ \\ = > cp = 12000 - 5cp \\ \\ = > 6cp = 12000 \\ \\ = > cp = rs.2000$

∴ COST PRICE (CP) OF TV

= Rs.2000
