Question

A man earns x% profit if he sells a mixie
at Rs. 2891. He incurs x% loss if he sells
the mixie at Rs. 2009. At what price
should he sell the mixie to get a profit of
20%.​

Answer 1

Answer:

2940

Step-by-step explanation:

let c.p = Rs y

y/100 [ (100+x) - (100 -x)] = 2891-2009

xy = 44100 => x = 44100/y

y/100 (100 + 44100/y) = 2891

100y = 289100 - 44100

y = 2450

required s.p = 1.2 × 2450 = 2940
