Question

12. By selling a pen for 289, a shopkeeper incurs a loss of 15%. At what price should he sell it to earn a profit of 18 %?​

Answer 1

Answer:

While selling on 15% loss , selling price of a pen is rs 289. 00 ,

Than actual price of this is 289×100÷85=340 rs.

Actual purchase price of this pen is rs 340.00

Now if shopkeeper wants 35% profit to sale this than the selling price will be

340×135÷100=459 rs

So that the answer of this question is rs 459.00
