Question

A man bought a box for 250, for how much should he sell it so as to gain 10% (with whole process) ​

Answer 1

Given :

• Cost Price of the Box = Rs 250
• Required gain% = 10%

To Find :

• Selling Price of the Box to get 10% gain

Formula :

• Selling Price = (100 + Gain%/100) × Cost Price

Solution :

Putting the values,

• Selling Price = (100 + Gain%/100) × Cost Price
• Selling Price = (100 + 10/100) × 250
• Selling Price = (110/100) × 250
• Selling Price = (11/10) × 250
• Selling Price = 11/10 × 250
• Selling Price = 11 × 25
• Selling Price = Rs 275

Therefore :

• He should sell the box for Rs 275 to gain 10% .

More Formulas :

• Gain = Selling Price - Cost Price
• Loss = Cost Price - Selling Price
• Gain% = (Gain/Cost Price) × 100
• Loss% = (Loss/Cost Price) × 100
• SP = (100 + Gain%/100) × CP
• CP = (100/100 + Gain%) × SP
• SP = (100 - Loss%/100) × CP
• CP = (100/100 - Loss%) × SP
