Question

A calculator was sold for Rs. 720 at profit of 8%. For what price should it be sold to get a profit of 35% ?​

Answer 1

900

Step-by-step explanation:

cp=x

p%=8%

PA=8% of 100= 8x/100

sp=cp+pa

x+8x/100=720

108x=72000

x=2000/3

cp=x

p%=35%

pa=35/100 of x

pa=35/100 × 2000/3

pa=700/3

sp=cp+pa

sp=x + 700/3

sp= 2000/3 + 700/3

sp = 900
