Question

find the CP when: sp=₹1755, gain= 12 1/2℅

Answer 1

Hi ,

s.p = Rs1755

gain = g = 12 1/2% = 25/2 %

c.p = ?

c.p = ( s.p × 100 ) / ( 100 + g )

= ( 1755 × 100 ) / ( 100 + 25/2 )

= ( 1755 × 100 × 2 ) / ( 200 + 25 )

= ( 1755 × 200 ) / 225

= ( 1755 × 8 ) / 9

= 195 × 8

= Rs 1560

Therefore ,

c.p = Rs 1560

I hope this helps you.

Answer 2

sp = ₹1755

Gain=g = 12 1/2% = 25/2 %

CP = ?

CP= ( SP*100 ) / ( 100 + g )

= ( 1755 *100 ) / ( 100 + 25/2 )

= ( 1755 * 100 * 2 ) / ( 200 + 25 )

= ( 1755 * 200 ) / 225

= ( 1755 *8 ) / 9

= 195 * 8

= ₹1560

CP= ₹1560
