Answer 2

S O L U T I O N :

$\underline{\bf{Given\::}}$

• Sagar bought a chair, (C.P) = Rs.1200
• Sold chair on gain = 16%

$\underline{\bf{Explanation\::}}$

Using formula of the selling price when show profit;

$\boxed{\bf{Selling\:price =\bigg( \frac{100 + profit\%}{100}\bigg) \times C.P.}}$

A/q

$\mapsto\tt{S.P. = \bigg(\dfrac{100+profit\:\%}{100}\bigg) \times C.P.}$

$\mapsto\tt{S.P. = \bigg(\dfrac{100+16}{100}\bigg) \times 1200}$

$\mapsto\tt{S.P. = \bigg(\dfrac{116}{100}\bigg) \times 1200}$

$\mapsto\tt{S.P. = \dfrac{116}{\cancel{100}} \times 12\cancel{00}}$

$\mapsto\tt{S.P. = Rs.(116 \times 12)}$

$\mapsto\bf{S.P. = Rs.1392}$

Thus,

The selling price of the chair will be Rs.1392 .
