if the selling price of a article is rupees 460 and profit on it is 15% then the cost price is​

Answer 1

Answer:

400 Rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Y be the Cost price of that article.

And Profit = 15%

So,

(Cost Price) x Profit = Selling Price

(Y) x (1.15) = 460

Y = 460/1.15

Y = 400 Rupees.

Answer 2

Answer:

SP = 460

Profit = 15%

CP = 100 ÷ (100+Profit) × SP

100÷(100+15) × SP

100÷(115) × 460

100÷115 × 460

= Rupees 400
