Answer 1

Answer:

• Selling price of car is 7200.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

• Rahul bought a car for 6000.
• He sold the car in profit of 20%.

To find :-

• Selling price of car.

Solution :-

Cost price is 6000

Profit percent is 20%.

Profit = Selling price - Cost price

[When Selling price is greater than cost price]

So,

$\longrightarrow$ Profit = S.P - 6000 [Here, S.P is Selling price]

Thus,

Profit is S.P - 6000.

We know,

$\boxed{\sf \bold{Profit \: percent = \dfrac{Profit}{C.P} \times 100}}$

[Here, C.P is Cost price]

Put all values in formula :

$\longrightarrow$ 20 = (S.P - 6000)/6000 × 100

$\longrightarrow$ 20 × 6000 = (S.P - 6000) × 100

$\longrightarrow$ 120000 = (S.P - 6000) × 100

$\longrightarrow$ 120000/100 = S.P - 6000

$\longrightarrow$ 1200 = S.P - 6000

$\longrightarrow$ 1200 + 6000 = S.P

$\longrightarrow$ S.P = 7200

Therefore,

Selling price of car is 7200.

Answer 2

$\Large\bf{\color{indigo} GiVeN,}$

• Cost price of car (C.P) = Rs.6000

• Profit % = 20%

$\Large\bf{\color{cyan}To\:FiNd,}$

• The selling price.

$\Large\bf{\color{lime} CaLcUlAtIoN,}$

$\bf\red{We\:know\:that,}$

$\orange\bigstar\:\:\bf\green{Profit\:\%\:=\:\dfrac{Profit}{C.P}\times{100}\:}$

$\bf\pink{Also,}$

$\purple\bigstar\:\:\bf\blue{Profit\:=\:Selling\:Price\:(S.P)\:-\:C.P\:}$

$\bf\green{So,}$

$:\implies\:\:\bf{Profit\:\%\:=\:\dfrac{S.P\:-\:C.P}{C.P}\times{100}\:}$

$:\implies\:\:\bf{20\:=\:\dfrac{S.P\:-\:6000}{6000}\times{100}\:}$

$:\implies\:\:\bf{20\:=\:\dfrac{S.P\:-\:6000}{60}\:}$

$:\implies\:\:\bf{20\times{60}\:=\:S.P\:-\:6000\:}$

$:\implies\:\:\bf{S.P\:-\:6000\:=\:1200\:}$

$:\implies\:\:\bf{S.P\:=\:1200\:+\:6000\:}$

$:\implies\:\:\bf\orange{S.P\:=\:Rs.7200\:}$

$\Large\bold\therefore$ Selling price of the car is Rs.7200.
