Answer 1

25% of 4800 = 1200

then 1% = 48

and 115%(100%+15%) = 4800 + 48×15

=5520

Answer 2

Answer:

Manoj should sell a cycle at 4140 rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

The market price of the cycle is 4800

The price of the cycle at a 25% discount is given by

= 4800 -  $\frac{25}{100}(4800)$

= 3600

Therefore Manoj bought a cycle at the price of 3600

If Manoj wants to make a profit of 15%, then he should sell it 15% more of 3600 that is

= $\frac{15}{100}(3600)+3600$

= 540 + 3600

= 4140

Therefore Manoj should sell the cycle at the price of 4140 rupees
