By selling an article for Rs 1206, the shopkeeper loses 10%. At what price
should he have sold it to gain 10%?​

Answer 1

Sp of article = Rs 1206

Loss % = 10 %

therefore cp of article = 1206 ×100/90 = 1340

Cp of article = 1340

Sp of article by gain = 1340×110/100 =1474

He have to sold it to Rs 1474 to gain 10%

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be loss

x plus 1206 is cost price

as loss equals cp minus sp

therefore

x/(x plus 1206). equals 10/100

cp we get 134 plus 1206

which is 1340

now profit is 10 percent hence

• (10/100 equals profit/ cp)

10/100 equals profit/ 1340

hence we get profit as 134

add that 1340plus 1474

1474

is the answer
