Question

Prateek bought rupees 75000 worth of toys for his toy shop. He spent some money on transportation, rent of his shop and the salary to the salesmam. If he made a profit of 10% on his real expenses, which was rupees 9000, calculate his overhead expenses.

​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the overhead charges be 'x'

C.P of toys is Rs.75000

With overheads it becomes 75000+x Rs

S.P=(C.P+Overheads)+ Profit

Profit

= 0.1*(C.P+Overheads)

= 0.1*(75000+x) rs

Given that profit is 9000 rs

=> 0.1(75000+x) = 9000

=> 75000+x = 9000/0.1

=> 75000+x = 90000

=> x = 90000 - 75000

=> x = 15000 rs

The cost of overheads is Rs.15000
