Question

Sahil bought a chair for rupees 3500 and spent rupees 1000 on its repair . He sold it again at 40% . How much did sell the bicycle for ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

there is some ambiguity in question

sold for 40%? does it mean at what he spent or at what he bought :-

case 1 :- consider he sold 40% at what he spent

therefore. ( 3500+1000)*0.6 gives the answer 2700

case 2 :- consider he sold 40% at what he bought

then 3500*0.6 gives the answer 2100

Answer 2

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 :

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