Question

A man bought goods at Rs. 1950 of which he sold at a loss of 12 1/2%.
must be the increased sale price per cent to gain 20% on his outlay by selling the rest?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the gain percent be x%.

According to the question,

(110% of 3000)+(100+x)% of 3000=125% of 6000

(110×30)+(100+x)×30=125×60

3300+3000+30x=7500

30x=1200

x=40%

Hence, this is the answer
