Question

The cost of an article was Rs. 15500
,Rs450 were spend on its repair. If it is sold for a ptofit of 15% find the selling price of the article

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

• The cost price of an article = Rs.15500

• Cost of repair = Rs. 450

To Find:-

• The selling price of the article.

Solution:-

Cost of the article = Rs. 15500

Cost of repair = Rs. 450

Total cost of the article = 15500 + 450 = Rs. 15950

Profit % = 15%

$\rm Profit = Profit\% \: of \: CP$

$\rm = 15\% \: of \: 15950$

$\rm = \dfrac{15}{100}\times 15950$

$\rm = 2392.5$

$\rm \therefore Profit = Rs. 2392.4$

Now, Selling Price = Cost Price + Profit

→ SP = 15950 + 2392.5

→ SP = 18342.5

∴ Selling Price of the article = Rs. 18342.5

Alternative Method:-

Total cost price = Rs.15950

Profit % = 15%

By using formula:-

$\rm SP = \dfrac{100}{100+Profit\%}\times CP$

$\rm \dashrightarrow SP = \dfrac{100}{100+15}\times 15950$

$\rm \dashrightarrow SP = \dfrac{115}{100}\times 15950$

$\rm \dashrightarrow SP =18342.5$

$\underline{\boxed{\purple{\rm \therefore Selling \: price \: of \: the \: article = Rs.18342.5}}}$

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...
