Question

a dealer suffers a loss of 10% by selling an article for 2520 at what price should he sell it to make a profit of 4%​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Case - I

SP = Rs 2520

Loss percentage = 10%

Let the CP be Rs x

By condition,

SP = (1- l/100) of CP

2520 = (1- 10/100) × x

2520 = x- x/10

2520 = 9x/10

9x/10 = 2520

x = 2520×10/9

x = 2800

CP = Rs 2800

Case - II

CP = Rs 2800

Profit percentage= 4%

SP = (1+p/100) of CP

SP = (1+ 4/100) × Rs 2800

SP = Rs 2800+ Rs 112

SP = Rs 2912

Ans - He should sell the article at Rs 2912 to make a profit

of 4%.
