Question

by selling a vcd player for Rs. 1950, i got a profit of 30% .At what price should i sale it in order to get a profit of 40 %?

Answer 1

•The amount paid to purchase an article is called its cost price.
• The amount for which an article is sold is called its selling price.

SOLUTION :
GIVEN : SP of VCD player = ₹ 1950
Profit = 30%

CP = (100 × SP)/(100+profit%)

CP = 100 × 1950) / (100+30)
CP = 195000/130 = 19500/13 = ₹1500
CP = ₹1500
Now, the CP of the VCD player = ₹1500
Desired gain(profit) = 40%

SP = (100+profit%) × CP /100

SP = (100 +40) × 1500 /100
SP = (140 × 1500) / 100
SP = 140 × 15 = ₹ 2100

Hence, he should sell the VCD player at ₹  2100 in order to get a profit of 40 %.

Answer 2

Heya !!

Here's your answer.. ⬇⬇

S.P = 1950 rs.

Gain % = 30%

C.P = 100/ ( 100 + gain% ) × S.P

C.P = 100/ ( 100 + 30 ) × 1950

C.P = 100/130 × 1950

C.P = 19500/13

C.P = 1500 rs.


To find S.P at gain% = 40%

S.P = ( 100 + gain% )/100 × C.P

S.P = ( 100 + 40 )/100 × 1500

S.P = ( 140 )/100 × 1500

S.P = 140 × 15

S.P = 2100 rs.


At 2100 Rs. should be sale to get 40% of profit.


Hope it helps ..
