Question

Ram bought 500 chickens, among them 75 died
cold. If he sold the reaming chickens at Rs 120 per one
and got 2% profit, find the total CP of the chickens.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 50000

Step-by-step explanation:

total chickens - 500

died chickens - 75

remaining chickens - 500-75 = 425 chickens

S.P of a chicken - Rs.120

425 chickens - 120×425

= Rs. 51000

Let the C.P of chickens be x

Profit = S.P - C.P

= 51000 - x

Profit% = (Profit /C.P) × 100

2 = {(51000-x)÷x }×100

2x = 5100000 - 100x

102x = 5100000

x = 50000

C.P of total chickens = Rs. 50000

Answer 2

Answer:

₹ 50,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of total chickens = 500

Number of died chickens = 75

Number of remaining chickens = 500 - 75 = 425

S.P. of one chicken = ₹ 120

Therefore, S.P. of 425 chickens = 120 * 425 = ₹ 51000

Profit = S.P. - C.P.

= 51000 - C.P.

Profit % = Profit/C.P. * 100

2 = 51000 - C.P. / C.P. * 100

2 = 5100000 - 100C.P. / C.P.

2C.P. = 5100000 - 100C.P

2C.P. + 100C.P. = 5100000

102C.P. = 5100000

C.P. = 5100000 / 102

C.P. = 50,000

Therefore, the total CP of the chickens is ₹50,000
