Answer 2

The selling price of a motorbike is 143000 and the profit earned is 4 percentage.

GIVEN :-

Selling Price (SP) = ₹143000

Profit percent = 4%

TO FIND :- The cost price ( CP)

SOLUTION :-

$profit\% = \frac{profit}{cp} \times 100 \\ \\ \implies profit\% = \frac{sp - cp}{cp} \times 100 \\ \\ \implies 4 = \frac{143000 - cp}{cp} \times 100 \\ \\ \implies 4cp = 14300000 - 100cp \\ \\ \implies 104cp = 14300000 \\ \\ \implies cp = \frac{14300000}{104} \\ \\ \implies \boxed{cp = rs.137500}$

The cost price of the motorbike is ₹137500.
