Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution 1:-

Given:-

• Cost price of chair = 375 rupees

• Selling price of chair = 400 rupees

• Gain = Selling price - Cost price

• Gain = 400 - 375 = 25

Now:-

Gain % = Gain/Cost price × 100

Gain % = 25/375 × 100 = 6.67%

Answer 2 :-

Given:-

• Cost price of item = 50 rupees

• Profit % = 12%

Let selling price be x. Then,

=> 12 = x - 50/50 × 100

=> 12 = 2x - 100

=> 112 = 2x

=> 56 = x

Thus:-

Selling price is 56 rupees.

Answer 3:-

Given:-

• Selling price = 540 rupees

• Loss % = 5%

• Loss = Cost price - selling price

Let cost price be y. Then ,

=> Loss % = Loss / Cost price × 100

=> 5 = y - 540/540 × 100

=> 5 = (y - 540) × 5/27

=> 5 × 27 = 5(y - 540)

=> 27 = y - 540

=> 540 + 27 = y

=> 567 = y

Therefore:-

The cost price is 567 rupees.
