Question

11. If by selling a bed sheet for 75 a man
loses 4%, for what amount should he sell
it, so as to gain 20%?
(a) 90
(b) 75.95
(c) 95.25
(d) 93.75​

Answer 1

Answer:

93.75 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C.P be x

Since, he loses 4%, therefore

(100-96)% or 96% of x = 75

x= (75×100)/96

= 78.125

Now, to gain 20%

SP must be 120%

= (78125×120)/100×1000

= 93.75

Answer 2

Answer:

if the price of the bedsheet is x then,

A.T.Q

x×96/100= 75

=>x= 75×100/96

the answer is,

75×100/96×120/100

= 93.75
