Solution

It is given that,

Brokerage is ₹ 73,125 and brokerage rate is `3/4`%

Let selling price be x.

Brokerage = Selling price of shop × Brokerage rate

∴ `73,125 = "x" xx 3/4`%

∴ `73,125 = "x" xx 0.75/100` %

∴ x = `(73,125 xx 100)/0.75`

∴ x = 97,50,000

∴ Selling price for the shop is 97,50,000.

It is mentioned that shop is sold at 30% profit.

If purchase price is ₹ 100, then selling price is ₹ 130.

For selling price ₹ 97,50,000, cost price will be 100 → 130

? → 97,50,000

∴ Cost price = `(97,50,000 xx 100)/130` = 75,00,000

∴ Cost of the shop is ₹ 75,00,000.
