Answer:

To gain a profit of 25% she has to sell it for Rs.6250.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Seeta sells a dining set to neeta for ₹ 6000 and gains 20%.

To find : How much should she sell it to increase her profit by another 5%?

Solution :

Let the CP be = Rs. x

Seeta sells a dining set to neeta for ₹ 6000 and gains 20%.

i.e, x + 20\% \text{ of } x = 6000x+20% of x=6000

\frac{120x}{100}= 6000100120x=6000

x= \frac{6000\times 100}{120}x=1206000×100

x= \frac{600000}{120}x=120600000

x=5000x=5000

We got CP = Rs. 5000

New profit = 25%

SP = 5000 + 25\% \text{ of } 5000SP=5000+25% of 5000

SP = 5000 +\frac{25}{100}\times 5000SP=5000+10025×5000

SP = 5000 +1250SP=5000+1250

SP = 6250SP=6250

Therefore, To gain a profit of 25% she has to sell it for Rs.6250.
