Answer 2

Given,

Priya and Sarika both their phones cost price is same

PRIYA

SP = Rs 14880

loss = 7%

so,

CP = [100/100 - loss %] × SP

so, after inserting the values we got,

$\frac{100}{100 - 7} \times 14880 \\ \frac{100}{93} \times 14880 \\ 16000$

we got, Rs 16,000

A/q

CP of Sarika's phone = Rs. 16,000

profit = 5%

SP = (100 + profit %/ 100 ) × CP

so, after inserting the values we got,

$\frac{100 + 5}{100} \times 16000 \\ \frac{105}{100} \times 16000 = 16800$

so,

At Rs. 16,800 Sarika should sell her mobile Phone to earn 5% of profit.

hope this answer helps you dear!
