Question

Find the selling price
a)Cp =2500, gain =5 1/2

Answer 1

Given:

CP=2500

gain=5 1/2

gain=5×2+1/2

gain=10+1/2

gain=11/2

SP = CP + gain

= CP + {(11/2)/100}×CP

= (211/200)×CP

= (211/200)×2500

=2637.5 Rs

Hence selling price is 2637.5 RS.

Answer 2

• As per the data given in the question, we have to find the selling price.
• Given data- Cost price is 2500.

        Gain $=5\tfrac{1}{2}$

        As we know,

        Selling price $=$ cost price + profit or gain. we will get it,

         $\Rightarrow s.p=2500+\frac{11}{2}$

         $SP=CP+{(11/2)/100}\times CP$

         $=\frac{211}{200}\times2500$

         $=2637.5 Rs.$

         So, the selling price is $2637.5Rs.$
