Question

Sandeep bought 100 bars of soap. He sold them all at the rate of Rs 6.20 each and made a profit of Rs 50. At what rate did he buy them?

Answer 1

sandeep brought 100 soaps
selling price of each soap=6.20
total price=6.20×100=620
profit =s.p-c.p
50 =620-x
x=570
cost price of 100 bars =570
c.p of each bar=570/100=5.70

Answer 2

Answer:

Rs. 5.7

Step-by-step explanation:

SP of 100bars of soaps=100*6.20=Rs.620

Let cp rate of bars of soaps be Rs. x

CP of 100 bars of soaps=100*x=Rs.100x

Profit=SP-CP

Rs.50=Rs.620-Rs.100x

50-620=-100x

x=570/100

x=Rs.5.7
