Answer 2

Given :-

♦ On selling a camera for Rs. 2500 the seller gains 5.5%

To find :-

♦ The selling price of the camera for getting 8% of gain .

Solution :-

Given that

The Selling Price of the camera

= Rs. 2500

Gain percentage on it = 5.5%

We know that

★ Cost Price = (100×SP)/(100+g)

The Cost Price of the camera

= (100×2500)/(100+5.5)

= 250000/105.5

= 250000/(1055/10)

= 250000×(10/1055)

= 2500000/ 1055

= 2369.668...(approximately)

Therefore, The Cost Price of the camera

= Rs. 2370 ( correct it to near tens )

Required gain percentage on it = 8%

Let the Selling Price of the camera be Rs.X

We know that

★ Selling Price = [100+g)/100]×CP

=> Selling Price = [100+8)/100]×2370

=> Selling Price = (108/100)×2370

=> Selling Price = 1.08×2370

=> Selling Price = 2559.6

Therefore, The Selling Price = Rs. 2560

( correct it to near tens )

Answer :-

→ The selling price of the camera should be Rs. 2560 to get 8% of gain

Used formulae :-

♦ Selling Price = [100+g)/100]×CP

♦ Cost Price = (100×SP)/(100+g)

• SP = Selling Price
• CP = Cost Price
• g = gain or profit
