Answer 1

`\huge{\boxed{\sf{ 6400 }}}`

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
`(35840)/(5) =` Rs
`7168`

We have,

Cost of 1 mobile = Rs 7168

Profit % = 12 %

Finding the cost price of each mobile :

`\boxed{\sf{ CP = (SP * 100)/(100 + Profit percent)}}`

`CP = (7168 * 100)/(100 + 12)`

`CP = (716800)/(112)`

`CP =` Rs
`6400`

Hope I helped!

Best wishes!
