deal?
Please give right answer. And no rubbish things otherwise I'll report all your answers​

Answer 1

Answer:

cost of 10 chairs =10×175

=Rs.1750

$sp = \frac{cp(100 - loss \: percnt)}{100}$

$sp = \frac{1750(100 - 8)}{100}$

=17.5×92

=Rs. 1610

Loss =140

Total C.P = 40×175=7000

10% profit = Rs. 700

C.P of 30 chairs = 30×175=5250

S.P of 30 chairs =5250+700+140

=5950+140

=6090.

∴ S.P of 1 chair for getting 10 % on whole

$= rs \frac{6090}{30}$

=Rs. 203

Answer 2

$\red{ \mathfrak{ \large{Given}}}$

• Salman bought 40 chairs at 175 each.
• He sold one-fourth of them at a loss of 8%.

$\mathfrak{ \underline{ \underline{ \large{To \: find}}}}$

• At what price each must he sell the remaining chairs so as to gain 10% on the whole deal?

$\pink{ \mathfrak{ \underbrace{ \large{Solution}}}}$

Cost of 10 chairs=10×175=Rs.1750

We know that,

$S.P. = \frac{C.P(100 - loss\%)}{100} \\ = \frac{1750 (100 - 8)}{100} \\ 17.5 \times 92 \\ = rs.1610$

Loss = 140

Total C.P.= 40×175=7000

10% profit = Rs. 700

C.P of 30 chairs = 30×175=5250

S.P of 30 chairs =5250+700+140

=5950+140

=6090.

∴ S.P of 1 chair for getting 10 % on whole

=Rs 6090/30

=Rs. 203

Hence,The answer is Rs.203 ✅
