A mobile phone is sold for ₹ 8400 at a gain of 20%. The cost price of the mobile phone is ________

रिकाम्या जागा भरा
Advertisements

उत्तर

₹ 7000

Explanation;

Hint:

Let cost price of mobile be ₹ x

Given that selling price is ₹ 8400 and gain is 20%

As per formula,

S.P = `((100 + "gain"%))/100 xx "C.P"`

∴ by substituting we get,

8400 = `((100 + 20))/100 xx x`

8400 = `120/100 x`

x = `(8400 xx 100)/120`

= ₹ 7000
