Answer 1

$\huge{\mathtt{{\red{\boxed{\tt{\pink{\orange{Ans}\purple{wer}}}}}}}}$

$\red\bull$Cost Price = Rs. 15,500

$\red\bull$Repairs = Rs. 450

$\red\bull$So, Total Cost price = 15,500 + 450 = 15950

$\red\bull$Profit % = 15 %

$☯ \underline{\boldsymbol{According\: to \:the\: Question\:now :}}$

$\begin{gathered}\sf = > Selling \: Price = \dfrac{(100 + P \%)}{100} \times Cost \: Price \\ \\\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\sf = > Selling \: Price = \dfrac{(100 + 15 \%)}{100} \times 15950 \\ \\\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\sf = > Selling \: Price = \dfrac{115}{100} \times 15950 \\ \\\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\sf = > Selling \: Price = Rs. \: 18342.5 \\ \\\end{gathered}$

$\rm \pink\longrightarrow$Therefore, Selling Price of the article is Rs. 18342.5.

Answer 2

selling price of article= 18,342.50

explanation

cost of one article =15,500

spent on repairs=450

sold on profit=15%

cost of repair and article =450+15,500=15,950

15950×15/100=2392.50

2392.50+15950=18,342.50
