Question

on selling a car for rs 2,35,000 a man gains rs 7,500. Find the cost price of the car.​

Answer 1

Total C.P. of a car = Rs. 75000 + Rs. 9000 + Rs. 1500 = Rs.85500

Given, S.P. = Rs. 120000; [which is less than total cost price]

Therefore, gain = Rs. 120000 - Rs. 85500 = Rs. 34500

Also, gain% = total  C.P.gain×100%

= 8550034500×100=40%

Answer 2

Selling price= Rs. 235000

Gain= Rs. 7500

Therefore, cost price

= Rs. (235000-7500)

= Rs. 227500

The cost price is Rs. 227500.
