Answer:(i) cp=1560 and gain =5%

hence profit =rs 78

and sp =1560+78=1638

hence profit =134.40rps =840+134.40=974.40 rs

and A piece of advice don't wver forget to write decimal part of rupees upto 2 places.thats why i have written 974.40. the answer is considerrd only when you write it to 2 places.

Answer 2

Answer:

(i) Cost price = Rs 1560

Gain = 5%

Selling price = Cost price + gain

Gain = 5/100 × 1560

Gain = 78

So,

selling price = 1560 + 78

= Rs 1638

(ii) CP = Rs 840

Gain = 16%

16/100 × 840 = Rs 134.4

Selling price = 840 + 134.4

Rs. 974.4
