Question

A man sells a widget for rs270 at a loss of 10%.How much would he need to sell it for to make a profit of 25%?

Answer 1

Let x = C.P
Here,
S.P=Rs 270
Loss=10%
Then,
x - 10% of x = 270
This implies,x = 300
Again,
Let y=S.P with 25% profit
Then,
300 + 25% of 300 = y
This implies, y = 375
Therefore, the man would need to sell the widget for Rs 375 to get a profit of 25%

Answer 2

Answer:

rs 375 is the correct answer
