  1. Answer:

    Answer:

    Selling Price = Rs. 522

    Profit % = 16 %

    Cost Price = ?

    We know that,

    Profit = Selling Price – Cost Price

    Let us assume selling price to be ‘x’ in this case.

    => Profit = 522 – x

    Profit % = ( Profit / CP ) × 100

    => 16 % = ( 522 – x / x ) × 100

    => 16 × x = ( 522 – x ) × 100

    => 16x = 52200 – 100x

    => 100x + 16x = 52200

    => 116x = 52200

    => x = 52200 / 116

    => x = 450

    Hence the original Cost price of the chair was Rs. 450.

    Hope it helped !

    Let us assume selling price to be ‘x’ in

    this case.

    =>Profit= 522 – x

    Profit %= ( Profit/ CP) x 100

    =>16 % = (522 – x/x) x 100

    16 x x = (522 -x) x 100

    the price would be 450
