Let the profit be Rs. p

Then Cost price of the bag = 340p/100 = 3.4p

According to question,

3.4p + p = 1540

4.4p = 1540

p = 1540/4.4

p = 350

The profit p = Rs, 350

Hence, The cost price of the bag = 3.4p = 3.4 x 350 = Rs. 1190.

Here to convert 0.125 into %

First convert to fractio

Multiply and divide by 1000

=> 0.125 x 10001000 = 1251000 = 18

=> Now, $$\begin{gathered} in percentage \\ 18 x 100 = 12.5% \end{gathered}$$

Cp1 = p2 - p1 ,
Cp2 = p3 - p2
..
..
..
Cp23 = p24 - p23
Sum of series = (p2-p1) + (p3-p2) + .....(p23-p22) + (p24-p23)
All terms get cancelled, except p1 = 2 and p24 = 89
So Sum = -p1 + p24
Sum of series = -2 + 89 = 87

Here I converted the original fraction to a fraction with the denominator being 10, because decimals can be written in the tenths place.

$$\begin{gathered} Divide numerator and denominator with '2' \\ 15 x 22 \\ = 210 \\ = 0.2 \end{gathered}$$

The pattern is three consecutive numbers and then three consecutive numbers missing.Then four consecutive numbers and then four consecutive numbers missing.Then five consecutive numbers and then five consecutive numbers missing.

The next number=20+6=26
