Question

please solve this sum​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given :-

SP = 40,000

Profit % = 25 %

To Find :-

Cost price

Solution :-

We know that

CP = 100 × SP/(100 + P)

CP = 100 × 40,000/(100 + 25)

CP = 4000000/125

CP = 32000

V E R I F I C A T I O N :

CP = 32000

SP = 40000

Profit = SP - CP

Profit = 40,000 - 32,000

Profit = 8,000

Now

Profit % = Profit/CP × 100

P% = 8000/32000 × 100

P% = 8/32 × 100

P% = 1/4 × 100

P% = 25%

Hence, Proved
