Answer 2

Answer -

• The cost price of the computer = Rs 32000.

To find -

• The cost price of the computer.

Step-by-step explanation -

• Here, the profit percent and selling price of a computer are given to us. We have to find it's cost price!

We know that -

$\bigstar \: \underline{\boxed{\sf CP = \dfrac{100}{100 + Profit \: \%} \times SP}}$

Where -

• CP = Cost price.
• SP = Selling price.

Here -

• Profit percent = 25%.
• Selling price = Rs 40000.

Therefore -

$\implies \mathfrak{CP = \dfrac{100}{100 + 25} \times 40000}$

$\implies \mathfrak{CP = \dfrac{100}{125} \times 40000}$

$\implies \mathfrak{CP = \cancel{\dfrac{4000000}{125}}}$

$\implies \mathfrak{CP = Rs \: 32000}$

Hence -

• The cost price of the computer = Rs 32000.
