Question

The cost price of an article is 2400 and the selling price is 3/2 times of its cost price, find (i) Selling price of an article. ii Profit or loss percent.​

Answer 1

Marked price will be =C.P.+25 % of C.P.=  

100

125

​

×C.P.=  

100

125

​

×2400=Rs3000

And Discount =15 % of Marked Price =  

100

15

​

×3000=Rs450

And Selling price will be = Marked Price − Discount =Rs3000−Rs450=Rs2550

Now, Gain =S.P.−C.P.=Rs2550−Rs2400=Rs150

Gain % =  

C.P.

S.P.−C.P.

​

×100=  

2400

2550−2400

​

×100=6.25 %

Answer 2

Answer: SP = $3,600

Profit = 50% of CP

Step-by-step explanation:

3/2 = 1 1/2

1 1/2 of 2,400 = 2,400 + 1,200 = 3,600

                                (2,400 divided by 1/2)

SP = $3,600

Profit = Sp - CP

   $3,600 - $2,400 = $1,200

I don't know if that's clear enough
