Question

find the cp when sp=$1575 gain =5%​

Answer 1

Answer:

CP= 1500$

Step-by-step explanation:

given, SP=$1575 gain%=5%

let CP be x

we know

gain% = gain/CP*100

5 =gain/x*100

gain= 5x/100........(1)

and

gain=sp - cp

gain=1575-x........(2)

from equation (1) and (2)

5x/100=1575-x

5x=157500-100x

105x=157500

x=1500$

Answer 2

Answer:

S.P.=$1500

Step-by-step explanation:

S.P.=$1575

gain= 5%

if the C.P.=100 then S.P.=100+5=105

C.P. - S.P.

$100 $105

(?) $1575

so C.P.=100/105×1575=$1500

so C.P.=$1500
