Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge{\boxed{\sf{ 6400 }}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Correction:

A trader sells 5 mobiles for Rs 35840 and had profit of 12% . Find the cost price of each mobile.

Solution:

Selling price of 5 mobiles = Rs 35840

Now, we have to find the selling price of 1 mobile. So, for the cost of 1 mobile , the cost of 5 mobiles is divided by 5.

i.e $\frac{35840}{5} =$ Rs $7168$

We have,

Cost of 1 mobile = Rs 7168

Profit % = 12 %

Finding the cost price of each mobile :

$\boxed{\sf{ CP = \frac{SP * 100}{100 + Profit percent}}}$

$CP = \frac{7168 * 100}{100 + 12}$

$CP = \frac{716800}{112}$

$CP =$ Rs $6400$
