Answer 1

Answer:

Let C.P of motorcycle =Rs.x

S.P of motorcycle =

100

72

x=0.72x

C.P including the cost of repair =(0.72x+1680)

S.P of motor =Rs.35910

Profit percentage =12.50%

⇒(35910−(0.72x+1680))×

(0.72x+1680)

100

=12.5

⇒

(0.72x+1680)

(3423−0.72x)

=

100

125

⇒3423000−72x=9x+21000

⇒3423000−21000=9x+72x

⇒3402000=81x

⇒

x=42000
