Question

If selling a mobile at Rs 4600 gives a profit of
15% than what is the cost price of mobile?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:  Find the selling price in percentage:

Profit = 15%

Selling Price = 100 + 15 = 115%

Find the cost price:

Selling Price = 115%

Selling Price = Rs 4600

115% = 4600

1% = 4600 ÷ 115 = Rs 40

100% = 40 x 100 = Rs 4000

Answer: The cost price of the article is Rs 4000

Answer 2

Answer:

Rs.4000

Step-by-step explanation:

SP of mobile = Rs 4600

Profit % = 15%

CP = x

therefore, profit = 15x/100

Equation -

CP = SP - Profit

x = 4600 - 15x/100

x + 15x/100 = 4600

115x/100 = 4600

x = 4600*100/115

x = 4000

CP of mobile = Rs.4000
