Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

₹45000

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Therefore,

Profit $=\frac{1}{9}x$

Cost price (CP) = ₹ 40000

$Profit = SP - CP \\ \\ \frac{1}{9}x = x - 40000 \\ \\ \frac{x}{9} - x = - 40000 \\ \\ \frac{x - 9x}{9} = - 40000 \\ \\ - \frac{8}{9} x = - 40000 \\ \\ x = 40000 \times \frac{9}{8} \\ \\ x = 5000 \times 9 \\ \\ x = 45000$
