Answer:

hey tushar

here your answer

the market price of tea 100g=24

shopkeeper gives free cup of rs =2

shopkeeper sold 100g tea for =24+2=26

shopkeeper gain profit per cent=10%

shopkeeper gain profit rs=10%of 26

=10x26/100

=26/10=2.6

shopkeeper sold tea at price=rs 26+2.6

selling price=28.6

now cost price =spx100/(100+gain%)

=28.6x100/11O

=2860/110

=286/11

=26
