Question

Mohit sold a T.V. for ₹3,600; gaining one-sixth of its selling price. Find:

the cost price of the T.V.

Answer 1

Step: Find C.P. of T.V.

S.P. of the T.V. = Rs. 3,600

Total profit $=\frac{1}{6}\times 3600=Rs.600$

$\text{So, C.P. = S.P.}-\text{Profit}$

$C.P.=Rs.3,600-Rs.600=Rs.3,000$

Hence, the total C.P. = Rs. 3,000
