Question

14. By selling an article for 480, a person lost
20%. For what amount should he sell it to gain
20%.​

Answer 1

To make a profit of 20%, he has to sell the article for Rs. 720.

When he sells it for 480 he had lost 20%. So 80% of the actual price is 480. Hence the actual price of the article is (480×100÷80) = 600. To make a profit of 20% we have to calculate 120×600÷100=720.
