Answer 1

Answer:

Given:

By selling a bed sheet for rupees 640 A shopkeeper earns a profit of 28%

Find:

how much did it cost the shopkeeper.

Calculation:

$\sf\rightarrow \frac{128}{100} \times x = 640$

Let x be the cost price of bed sheet.

$\sf\rightarrow x = 640 \times \frac{100}{128}$

$\sf\rightarrow x = 500 \: Rs$

Therefore, 500 is the cost of shopkeeper.

Answer 2

Rs 500 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Profit percentage = 28 %

Sell Price = Rs 640

To find :

Cost Price

Solution :

let , the cost price be Rs x .

profit percentage 28 %

We know that ,

Cost Price + Profit percentage = Sell Price

or, x + 28 % of x = 640

or, x + 28x/100 = 640

or, 128x/100 = 640

or, x /100 = 5

or x = 500 .

So, the required cost price is Rs 500.
