Answer 2

Answer:

Profit earned by selling good is Rs. 45

Given Data:

Selling price = 405,  

Profit = 12.5%

Step 1:

Let the cost price be x.

The 12.5% profit can be written as  

$x \times \frac{112.5}{100}=405$

Step 2:

Simplify the expression to get the value of x.

So the$\frac{112.5}{100}$ moves to RHS.

x=\frac{405 \times 100}{112.5}

Step 3:

Multiply Nr and Dr by 10.

$x=\frac{405\times 100 \times 10}{112.5 \times 10}$

x=\frac{405 \times 1000}{1125}

Step 4:

Simplify the expression and now we get the x value.

x=360  

Profit earned = 405 – 360

Step 5:

Therefore Profit earned = 45.
