Solution
Given, the cost price of each coat = Rs. 1500
Also, the total number of coat purchased = 18
⇒ We need to find out the cost of each coat and profit earned by brinda.
Now, we know that the total cost of 18 coats = Total number of coats × Cost of each coat.
⇒ Total cost of 18 coats = 18 × 1500 = 27000
⇒ Gain% = 6%
Now, we know that
Gain = `(("Gain"%) xx "Cost price")/100`
⇒ Gain = `(6 xx 27000)/100 = 1620`
Now, we know that Selling price = Gain + Cost price
⇒ Amount received by brinda = 1620 + 27000 = 28620
Customer pay sales tax = 4%
Now, we know that the Total Sales Tax = Cost × Sales Tax
⇒ Total Sales Tax = `(28620 xx 4)/100 = 1144.8`
Now, The cost price with the sales tax Total Cost = Cost + Total Sales Tax.
⇒ Total cost with sales tax = 28620 + 1144.8 = Rs. 29764.8
Cost Price of one coat = `"Total cost"/"Number of coats"`
⇒ Cost price of one coat = `29764.8/18` = Rs. 1653.6
⇒ Profit earned by Brinda = 28620 – 27000 = 1620
Hence, Brinda earned the profit of 1620.
