Question

Sapana marked a watch Rs.5000. She sold it allowing 15% discount then the profit of Rs.625 is made, find the CP of watch

Answer 1

☆Given :

• Marked price of watch = rs. 5000

• Discount% = 15 %

• Profit = rs. 625

☆ To find :

• Cost price of watch.

$\huge \underline{ \star \: \mathfrak{solution - }}$

$\large \boxed{discount = \frac{m.p \times d\%}{100} }$

$\ discount = \large \frac{5000 \times 15}{100}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \implies$50 × 15

$\bigstar$ discount = rs. 750

$\large\boxed{s.p \: = \: m.p - \: discount}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \implies$ S.P = 5000 - 750

$\bigstar$ Selling price = rs. 4250

$\large \boxed{c.p = \frac{m.p\times (100 - d\%)}{100 } }$

$= \large\frac{500 \times (100 - 15)}{100}$

= 5 × 75

$\bigstar$ 375

$\therefore \large \red{Cost \: price\: = \: rs. \: 375}$

Answer 2

Answer:

☆Given :

Marked price of watch = rs. 5000

Discount% = 15 %

Profit = rs. 625

☆ To find :

Cost price of watch.

\huge \underline{ \star \: \mathfrak{solution - }}

⋆solution−

\large \boxed{discount = \frac{m.p \times d\%}{100} }

discount=

100

m.p×d%

\ discount = \large \frac{5000 \times 15}{100} discount=

100

5000×15

\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \implies⟹ 50 × 15

\bigstar★ discount = rs. 750

\large\boxed{s.p \: = \: m.p - \: discount}

s.p=m.p−discount

⟹ S.P = 5000 - 750

\bigstar★ Selling price = rs. 4250

\large \boxed{c.p = \frac{m.p\times (100 - d\%)}{100 } }

c.p=

100

m.p×(100−d%)

= \large\frac{500 \times (100 - 15)}{100}=

100

500×(100−15)

= 5 × 75

\bigstar★ 375

\therefore \large \red{Cost \: price\: = \: rs. \: 375}∴Costprice=rs.375
