Question

If S.P = 210, profit percent=5% c.p = Rs X , find the c.p .

Answer 1

The cost price is Rs.200

Explanation:

Given:

S.P = Rs.210

Profit percentage = 5%

To find:

C.P=?

Formula:

Profit = Selling price- Cost price

Profit % = Profit/Cp ×100

From the given values,

==> Find Profit

==> Profit = Selling price- Cost price

==> Profit = 210-CP

==> Apply profit value in Profit% Formula

==> Profit % = Profit/Cp ×100

==> Profit% = 5

==> 5 = (210-CP/CP)×100

==> 5 CP = (210-CP)×100

==> 5/100 CP= 210-CP

==> CP/20 =210-CP

==> CP =20(210-CP)

==> CP= 4200-20CP

==> CP+20CP = 4200

==> 21CP = 4200

==> CP = 4200/21

==> CP = 200

The cost price is Rs.200

Profit = Selling price-Cost price

Profit = 210-200

Profit =Rs.10
