Question

shopkeeper purchased a television for RS. 4000 and spent some money on it. it was further sold for RS. 8000. find his overhead expense if the overall gain is 25% in this transaction

Answer 1

cp=4000
sp=8000
gain%=25%
therefore 25%0f 8000=25÷100×8000=2000
therefore=sp+gain=8000+2000=10000

Answer 2

Answer:

CP = ₹4000

SP = ₹8000

Gain = 25%

CP = SP×100/(100+profit%)

= 8000×100/(100+25%=)

= 800000/125

= 6400

= 6400 - CP/4000

= ₹2400. Ans.

Thank you.
