A shopkeeper sold A dressing table for ₹7512.75 at a profit of $\frac{77}{4}$%. What was the cost price?
Given: A shopkeeper sold a dressing table for ₹7512.75 at a profit of $\frac{77}{4}$%.
To do: What was the cost price.
Solution:
Profit Percent Formula =$\frac{Profit \times 100}{CP}$
So, $\frac{77}{4} = \frac{[SP-CP] \times 100}{CP}$
$\frac{77}{4} = \frac{[SP-CP] \times 100}{CP}$
The given SP is Rs 7512.75.
Now, $\frac{77}{4} = \frac{[7512.75-CP] \times 100}{CP}$
$CP = 4\frac{751275-100CP}{77}$
$77\times CP = 30050300 -400CP$
$77 CP +400CP = 30050300$
$477CP = 30050300$
$CP= \frac{30050300}{477}$
$CP= 62998.53$
Therefore , the CP is $62998.53$
