Question

By selling a scooter for Rs. $9,200$, a man gains $15\%$. Find the cost price of the scooter.

Answer 1

S.P. of the scooter $=\text{₹}9200$
Gain $=15\%$
$\therefore$ Gain $\%=\frac{\text{S.P.}\times 100}{100+\text{gain}\%}$
$=\frac{9200\times 100}{100+15}$
$=\frac{9200\times 100}{115}$
$=\text{₹}8000$
