Answer 1

Answer:

15,048

Step-by-step explanation:

Manu sold a dozen watches for Rs.1454.64 per watch and made a profit of 16%. Find the cost price of the watches

Manu sold 12 watches for Rs 1454.64

So selling price will be 1454.64 x 12 = Rs 17455.68

Now selling price x 100 = 17455.68 x 100 = 1745568

Now profit percent + 100 = 16 + 100 = 116

Now cost price = 1745568 / 116 = Rs 15,048

The cost price of the watch will be Rs 15,048
