Question

Nishant sold his scooter for 24150 making a profit
of 15%. Find the cost price of the scooter.
100%​​

Answer 1

Given :-

• Selling price of scooter (SP) = Rs. 24150
• Profit (P) = 15%

To Find :-

• The cost price of the scooter (CP).

Solution :-

As we know that,

CP = (SP × 100)/(100 + Profit)

[ Putting values ]

↪ CP = (24150 × 100)/(100 + 15)

↪ CP = 2415000/115

↪ CP = 21000

Hence,

• The cost price of scooter is Rs.21000.

Answer 2

$\huge\sf{ \underline{ \underline{given:}}}$

• sp of the the scooter (s.p) : Rs.24,150
• profit. : 15%

$\huge\sf{ \underline{ \underline{to find:}}}$

• C.P of scooter

$\huge\sf{ \underline{ \underline{solution:}}}$

$\bf \underline{note \: this \ \: : }$

$\bf{c.p = \frac{sp \times 100}{100 + gain\%} }$

$\sf{let \: us \: substute \: the \: value}$

$\sf= > \frac{24150 \times 100}{100 + 15}$

$\sf = > \frac{24,15,000}{115}$

$\sf{ = >21,000 }$

$\blue{\fbox{c.p \ \: : 21,000}}$

$\blue{ \sf{therefore \: the \: cost \: of \:the \: scooter\:is }}$

$\sf{21,000}$
