Question

A businessman has a 10% loss in

selling a watch at Rs.360. If he wants

5% profit, find out the selling price of

the watch?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let's consider he should have sold it at X amount to avoid any loss. So -

X - X×5%=1140

=>X(1 -0. 05)=1140

=>X = 1140/0. 95

= 1200

So if he sells at 1200 he should have made no profit no loss. So to earn 5% profit, he has to sell at 1260.

1200×105%=1260

Answer 2

10% of 360 is 36 and 5% of 360 is 18 .36-18=18

now, subtract 18 from 360 and you will get the answer
