Question

189. Find gain%.
6. On selling a pen for 48, a shopkeeper loses 20%. In order to gain 20% what would be the
selling price?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Selling price is given 48 rupees

let the cost price be "x"

so

for 20% loss

and 80% of amount

(48/x)*100=80

x= 60

so the cost price will be 60 rupees

and for 20% profit

equation will be

y = 20*60/100 = 12

where y is profit of the amount

so total selling price for 20% profit will be

S.P. = 60+12

S.P. = 72 rupees
