Question

Aa dealer bought a laptop for rs 45000 and sold it to retailer again sold it to a customer at 25% profit. how much did the customer pay for the laptop.​

Answer 1

Rs 56,250

Explanation:

To calculate how much the customer paid for the laptop, we need to determine the total price after the retailer added a 25% profit margin.

If the dealer purchased the laptop for Rs 45,000, then Rs 45,000 is 100%. If the dealer sells it to a customer at 25% profit, it was sold at 125% of its purchase price.

Therefore, to calculate how much the customer paid for the laptop, we need to find 125% of Rs 45,000:

`\begin{aligned}\sf 125\%\;of\;45000&=\sf(125)/(100) * 45000\\\\&=\sf(125* 45000)/(100) \\\\&=\sf(5625000)/(100) \\\\&=\sf56250\end{aligned}`

Therefore, the customer paid Rs 56,250 for the laptop.

Answer 2

Rs 56250

Explanation:

Given:

Cost price of laptop (CP) = RS 45000

Profit (P) = 24 % = 0.24

The selling price of dealer (SP) = Cost price of customer,

So,

Selling price of dealer =
`\tt CP + Profit \:Percentage \:of \:C.P`

Selling price of dealer = CP(1+ Profit %)

Substituting value

Selling price of dealer = 45000(1+0.24)

Selling price of dealer = 45000*1.24

Selling price of dealer = 56250

Therefore, the Customer paid Rs 56250 for the laptop.
