Question

i bought 15 laptops for 150,000. if the selling price is the cost price divided by 2 and then multiplied 3.what is my selling price and my profit or loss

Answer 1

The cost price is : 150000/15 which is 10,000
The selling price would then me (10,000/2) x 3 which is 15,000

Therefore the selling price is 15,000 and the profit is 5000

Answer 2

225,000 (selling price) 75,000 (profit)

Explanation:

x = (150,000 ÷ 2) x 3

x = 75,000 x 3

x = 225,000

225,000 (sell) - 150,000 (cost)

= 75,000 (profit)
