$Selling\: price (s.p) =c.p\left( \frac{100+g}{100}\right)\\=1200\left( \frac{100+5}{100}\right)\\=1200\left( \frac{105}{100}\right)\\= 12\times 105\\= Rs\:1265$

Therefore,

$Selling\: price (s.p)=Rs\:1265$

Answer 2

The Selling price is Rs 1260.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the cost price of Rs 1200 and profit percentage of 5%.

Let Cost Price be represented as C.P.

and Selling Price be represented as S.P.

Now, as we know that Profit percentage is given by;

          Profit%  =  $\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{C.P.}}\times 100$

               5     =  $\frac{\text{Profit}}{1200} \times 100$

          Profit  =  $\frac{1200\times 5}{100}$  = Rs 60

• Now, Selling Price = Cost price + Profit

           S.P.  =  C.P. + Profit

           S.P.  =  Rs 1200 + Rs 60

                   =  Rs 1260

Hence, the selling price is Rs 1260.
