Rohan sold a toy for Rs. 220 making a profit of 10%. Find cost price of toy.
Given: Rohan sold a toy for Rs. 220 making a profit of 10 %
To find: Cost price of toy
Solution:
Selling Price = Rs. 220
We know Profit % = $\frac{Selling Price - Cost Price}{Cost Price} \times 100$
So, $10 = \frac{220 - Cost Price}{Cost Price} \times 100$
$\frac {10}{100} = \frac{220 - Cost Price}{Cost Price} $
$\frac {10}{100} \times Cost Price= 220 - Cost Price $
$\frac {Cost Price}{10} = 220 - Cost Price $
$\frac {Cost Price}{10} + Cost Price= 220 $
$\frac {11 \times Cost Price}{10} = 220 $
$Cost Price = 220 \times 10 \div 11 $
Cost Price = Rs. 200
