Question

11by selling a buffalo for RS 8100,there is a loss of 25/4 percent . FOR how much should it be sold to gain 25/4

Answer 1

CP of one buffalo = a

Loss = a x 25/4/100  = 25a/400 = a/16

SP of one buffalo = Rs.8100

a - a/16 = 8100

16a - a = 129600

15a = 129600

a = 8640

CP of one buffalo = Rs.8640

Profit should be = 8640 x 25/400 = Rs.540

SP should be = 8640 + 540 = Rs.9180
