  • #15-i
    its cost price; (ii) the profit percent.
    Ans : Let C.P. of the radio-set = Rs. x
    Gain = Rs. x/9
    S.P. = Rs. (x + x/9) = Rs.(9x + x)/9 = Rs. 10x/9
    But, we are given S.P. of the radio-set = Rs. 250
    ∴ 10x/9 = 250
    ⇒ x = 250 × 9/10⇒ x = 25 × 9⇒ x = 225
    ∴ C.P. of the radio set = Rs.225 (ii) Profit = Rs. x/9
    = Rs. 225/9 ...(Substituting the value of x)
    = Rs. 25
    Profit% = Profit/C.P. × 100
    = 25/225 × 100
    = (25 × 100)/225
    = 100/9%
    = 11 1/9%
  • #15-ii
    the profit percent.
    Ans : Profit = Rs. x/9
    = Rs. 225/9 ...(Substituting the value of x)
    = Rs. 25
    Profit% = Profit/C.P. × 100
    = 25/225 × 100
    = (25 × 100)/225
    = 100/9%
    = 11 1/9%
