Read Solution (Total 4)
-
- 637.5 Rs.
If cost price of a radio=x, then given x*(85/100)=510, so x=600
To make 25/4=6.25 profit, the selling price=600*1.0625= 637.5 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- Rs 640
Let sp be x
Then profit = (25/400)*x = (1/16)*x
cp=x-(1/16)*x=(15/16)*x
Profit percent on cp=[(1/16)*x*100]/[(15/16)*x]=20/3 %
cp of radio when sp is rs 510 & loss is 15%=510/0.85=rs 600
sp of radio to fetch a profit of 25/4% on sp or 20/3% on cp=600+600*(20/300)=rs 640

- 85%- 510
5%- 30
1%- 6
425/4%- 1275/2= 637.50 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- =15% loss on 510.
mins we have to find cost price.
cost= 100%-15%=85
=510*100/85
=600
=cost price=600 and now 25/4%
=25/4=6.25%
=600*100/6.25
=37.50
=600+37.50
=637.50 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
