Question

What is the cost price of a shirt which was sold for ₹280 at a profit of 12% ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

COST PRICE IS RS 250 ONLY.

Step-by-step explanation:

$profit \: percent = \frac{280 - x}{x} \times 100 \\ \\ 12 = \frac{280 - x}{x} \times 100 \\ \\ 12x = 28000 - 100x \\ \\ 112x = 28000 \\ \\ x = \frac{28000}{112} \\ \\ x = 250.$
