Question

If a person sells a saree for RS. 2600 and makes a profit of 30%, then what was the cost price of the saree.​

Answer 1

Given:

• SP of saree is ₹2600
• Profit = 30%

To find :

• CP of saree

Solution:

Given that SP of saree is ₹2600 and profit is 30%.

Let suppose that CP of saree is x.

So, we can say that 130% of x is ₹2600 because seller is making profit of 20%

Solving this :-

130% of x = 2600

$\large{\implies{\sf{\frac{130x}{100}\:=\:2600}}}$

$\large{\implies{\sf{130x \:=\:2600 × 100 \:=\:260000}}}$

$\large{\implies{\sf{x\:=\:\frac{260000}{130}}}}$

$\large{\implies{\sf{x\:=\:{\cancel\frac{260000}{130}}}}}$

$\large{\implies{\sf{x\:=\:2000}}}$

Therefore,

$\large{\boxed{\sf{CP of saree is ₹2000}}}$
