Answer 2

Answer:

Given :

Sahil bought a chair for rupees 3500 and spent rupees 1000 on its repair . He sold it again at 40%

To find :

How much did sell the bicycle for ?

Solution :

$\begin{gathered}\sf{total \: cost \: price \: of \: bicycle = price \: paid \: to \: purchase \: it + repair \: charges} \\ \\ \implies \sf{(3500 + 1000)}Rs \: =rs \: 4500 \\ \\ \implies \sf{sp = \frac{100 + gain}{100} \times cp} \\ \\ \implies \sf{ \dfrac{100 + 40}{100} \times 4500 \: Rs} \\ \\ \implies \sf{Rs\: \dfrac{140}{100} \times 4500 } \\ \\ \implies \sf{Rs \:6300} \\ \\ \therefore \underline{\sf{Hence \: sahil \: sold \: the \: bicycle \: for \: Rs \: 6300}}\end{gathered}$

total cost price and icicle=price paid it+repair charges

⟹(3500+1000)Rs=rs4500

⟹sp= 100

100+gain ×cp⟹ 100

100+40 ×4500Rs⟹Rs 100

140 ×4500⟹Rs6300

∴

Hence sahil sold the bicycle for Rs6300
