Correct Answer: 37.5
Correct Answer: Rs. 200
Correct Answer: Rs.156.25
Correct Answer: 55350
Correct Answer: Rs. 35
Explanation:
Let the cost price of the bottle = Rs. 100
Selling price of the bottle = Rs. 100 - Rs. 9 = Rs. 91
Then, from the given data,
=> 112 (1/2) - 91 = 15
=> 21 (1/2) = 15
=> 43 = 15
Then 100 = ?
1500/43 = 34.885 =~ 35
Hence, the cost price of the bottle = Rs. 35
