Answered by skh2

Hello,

The selling price of watch is = rs 700

Profit percentage = 40%

We know that

Selling price = cost price + profit.

Now
Let cp be x
So,
Profit will be 40/100 x = 2x/5

Now
2x/5 + x = 700
Or,
2x + 5 x /5 = 700
Or,
7x/5 = 700
Or,
$x = \frac{700 \times 5}{7} = 100 \times 5 = 500$
So,

The cost price of the watch is rs 500

Hope this will be helping you...
