Question

on selling a sofa set for rupees 21600 a dealer gain 8% for how much did he purchased it

Answer 1

The purchase price of an item sold for Rs.21 600 at a profit of 8%

    = Rs$\frac{100}{108}$ x 21 600

    = Rs. 20 000

Answer 2

sp = 21600
profit % = 8%
cp = sp - cp / original cost × 100
8%= 21600 - x / x × 100
8x = 2160000 - 100x
100x + 8x = 2160000
108x = 2160000
x = 2160000 / 108
x = 20,000

so he purchased a set of sofa for 20,000
