Question

Mr Rai sale a watch for Rs 2035 a profit of 10% how much money has he paid to buy the also find his profit amount​

Answer 1

He paid Rs 1,850 to buy the watch

Profit = Rs 185

Explanation:

Cost price = x

Profit = 10% of x

Selling price = Rs 2035

Profit = Selling price - cost price

10% of x = 2035 - x

0.1x = 2035 - x

0.1x + x = 2035

1.1x = 2035

x = 2035 / 1.1

x = 1,850

Cost price = x = Rs 1,850

Profit = 10% of x

= 10% of 1,850

= 0.1 × 1850

= 185

Profit = Rs 185
