Given : A shopkeeper buys an article for Rs.800 and spends Rs.100 on its transportation. So
Cost price of article = 800 + 100 = 900
He marks the article at a certain price and then sells it for Rs.1287 including 10 % sales tax.
Let selling price = x , So
x + 10 % of x = 1287
⇒x + 10 x100 = 1287⇒x + x10 = 1287⇒11 x10 = 1287⇒x = 1287 ×1011⇒x =117×10⇒x =1170
So,
Selling price of article = RS 1170
Therefore,
Profit = 1170 - 900 = 270
Profit % = 270900×100 = 30%
Cost price of article = 800 + 100 = 900
