Question

6. On selling an article for 24,560, a loss of 20.9% is incurred. For how much should it be
sold to gain 6%?​

Answer 1

Given

Selling Price (SP) = ₹24560

Loss (L) = 20.9%

Cost price (CP) = ₹24560 + 20.9/100CP

CP - 20.9/100CP = ₹24560

79.1/100CP = ₹24560

CP = 24560 × 100/79.1

CP = ₹31049.30

Profit (P) = 6%

SP = 31049.30 + 6/100 × 31049.30

SP = ₹32912.258
