Question

14. By selling a chair for ₹ 500 , Raman losses 10 % .For how much should he sheel the chair so as to gain 8% ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

SP = 500

loss% = 10%

CP = 5000/9

now

gain % = 8%

new sp = 5000/9 * 108/100

= 600

Answer 2

Answer:

given: SP1 = Rs 500, loss = 10%

to find SP2 to gain 8% profit

Step-by-step explanation:

first we have to find CP in order to proceed

let CP = x

=> SP = [CP (100 - L%)] / 100

=> 500 = [x (100 - 10)] / 100

=> 500 = 90x/100

=> 500 = 9x/10

=> x = (500*10)/9

=> x = Rs 5000/9

SP to gain 8%

=> SP = [CP (100 + P%)] / 100

=> SP = [5000/9 (100 + 8)] / 100

=> SP = (5000 × 108) / 900

=> SP = Rs 600 Answer
