≛ Given ≛

  • ➣Selling Price of an item is Rs. 690
  • ➣Profit earned by trader 15%

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

≛ To find ≛

  • ➣Cost price of the item

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

≛ Formula to be used ≛

  • ➣here we use profit formula

that is :-

[tex]{ \boxed{✠\underline{ \boxed{ \sf{ \red✰Cost \: price =100 \times \frac{selling \: price}{100 + profit\%} }}}✠}}[/tex]

  • when selling price and profit "%" is given

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

≛ Assumption ≛

  • ➣let cost price be "x"

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

≛ let's solve acc to formula≛

[tex]\rm{➾x = 100 \times \frac{690}{100 + 15}} \\\rm{➾x \frac{100 \times 690}{100 + 15}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ } \\ \rm{➾x = \frac {100 \times \cancel{ 690}}{ \cancel{115}}}~~~~~~~ \\ \rm{➾x = 100 \times 6}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \\ \rm{➾x =106}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/tex]

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

➣ Hence "x" (Cost price) of the item

[tex] \large{ \boxed{✠\underline{ \boxed{ \sf{ Rs.106\green✓}}}✠}}[/tex]
