Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 18342.50

Step-by-step explanation:

cost price of article = 15500

spent on repairs = 450

total expenditure = 15500 + 450 = 15950

selling price at 15% profit

sp = cp + profit%

sp = 15950 + 15%

$= 15950 + ( \frac{15}{100} \times 15950) \\ = 15950 + (15 \times 159.5) \\ = 15950 + 2392.50 \\ = 18342.50$

selling price of article = Rs. 18,342.50

Answer 2

Answer:

cσѕt σf αrtíclє = rѕ. 15,500

cσѕt σf rєpαír = rѕ. 450

∴ tσtαl cσѕt σf αrtíclє = rѕ. (15500+450) = rs. 15,950

prσfít σn ѕєllíng αrtíclєѕ = 15%

$∴ prσfít (rѕ) = \: \frac{15}{100} \times 15,950 \: 2392.5$

ѕєllíng prícє = cσѕt prícє + prσfít

∴ѕєllíng prícє = 15950 + 2392.5= rs. 18342.5...
