Question

Ramesh bought a cycle for Rs. 4525, after getting a discount of 30% and 15% on the cycle. Find the price of the cycle before the discount.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost price = ₹6561.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Selling price of the cycle = ₹4525

Discount on the cycle = 30%+15% = 45%

To find :

The cost price of the cycle

Taken :

To find the cost price use this formula -:

$\boxed{\tt{C.P.=\dfrac{100\%+D\%}{100\%}\times S.P.}}$

Where,

C.P. = Cost price

D% = Discount percentage

S.P. = Selling price

Solution :

$:\implies\tt{C.P.=\dfrac{100\%+45\%}{100\%}\times4525}$

$:\implies\tt{C.P.=\dfrac{145\%}{\cancel{100\%}}\times\cancel{4525}}$

$:\implies\tt{C.P.=145\%\times45.25}$

$:\implies\tt{C.P.=Rs.6561.25}$

So , the cost price of the cycle is ₹6561.25 .
