A furniture dealer purchased a desk for $150 and then set the selling price equal to the purchase price plus a markup that was 40% of the selling price. If the dealer sold the desk at selling price , what was the amout of the dealers gross profit from the purchase and the sale of the desk.


Please help me solve it.

This is simpe...Ok, let me explain this....

Let the selling price be X.

Given that

Selling Price = Purchase Price + 40% of the Selling Price

i.e X = 150 + 40%(X)

Hence 60%(X) = 150

Thus X = 250.

So the purchase price is 150 and selling price is 250

Hence the profit = 100

Hope this is lucid
