Answer» Let the cost PRICE of the bus be RS. X. Selling price (S.P.) of the bus = x – (15% of x) = 0.85x(? S.P. = C.P. – LOSS) ⇒ 20400 = 0.85x ⇒ x = 20400/0.85 = Rs. 24,000 If profit = 15%: S.P. of the bus = 24000 + (15% of 24000)(? S.P. = C.P. + Profit) ⇒ S.P. of the bus = 24000 + ((15/100) × 24000) = 24000 + 3600 = Rs. 27,600 ∴ S.P. of the bus to get a profit of 15% = Rs. 27,600 |
