Question

a basket of fruits was sold for 240 at a loss of 11/2%. for what price should it have been sold to gain 10%​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

SP = 240 ⇒(100-(11/2))/100 CP

240 ⇒(189/200) CP

∴ CP = 16000/63

⇒ 253.9 rs

To make 10 % profit SP should be 253.9 x (110/100)

⇒(88x200)/63

⇒279.36 rs
