Question

Geeta bought a purse .She sold itvto Sita for 85Rs at a pro
fit of 10.25Rs. For how much did she buy the purse

Answer 1

Given

Geetha sold a purse to sita for 85 rs at a profit of 10.25rs

so Selling price= 85 rs
Profit=10.25 rs

We know that

Cost Price + Profit = selling Price
Cost Price +10.25 = 85
Cost Price = 85 - 10.25
Cost Price=74.75

Answer 2

We know,

SP = CP + Profit



On Applying formula, we get


85 = CP + 10.25

85 - 10.25 = CP


74.75 = CP




Hence, she bought the purse for ₹74.75
