Question

Cost price of television is Rs 40000.The profit is 1/9 of selling price ,find the selling price .

​

Answer 1

₹45000

Explanation:

Let the selling price (SP) of the television be ₹x.

Therefore,

Profit
`=(1)/(9)x`

Cost price (CP) = ₹ 40000

`Profit = SP - CP \\ \\ (1)/(9)x = x - 40000 \\ \\ (x)/(9) - x = - 40000 \\ \\ (x - 9x)/(9) = - 40000 \\ \\ - (8)/(9) x = - 40000 \\ \\ x = 40000 * (9)/(8) \\ \\ x = 5000 * 9 \\ \\ x = 45000`
