Question

Sadhu purchased an article for Rs.750 and sold it at a profit 8%. Find the selling price. *

Answer 1

⚘Given:

• Cost Price C.P. = rs.750
• Profit = 8%

⚘To Find:

• Selling Price S.P. = ?

⚘Solution:

Here,

We know, that

$\underline{ \boxed {\rm \color{violet}S.P. = (1+ \frac{profit\%}{100})\times C.P.}}$

where,

• C.P. = rs. 750
• Profit % = 8%

Now,

$\rm S.P. = (1+ \frac{8}{100})\times 750$

$\rm S.P. = ( \frac{100 + 8}{100})\times 750$

$\rm S.P. = ( \frac{108}{100})\times 750$

$\rm S.P. = ( 1.08)\times 750 = 810$

$\rm S.P. = rs.810$

Hence, Selling Price is rs.810
