Question

A man sold a camera for Rs 1710 losing 5% .At what price should he sell the camera in order to gain 5%.​

Answer 1

Answer:

HE SHOULD SELL THE CAMERA AT ₹1890 IN ORDER TO GAIN 5% PROFIT!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

PARAMETERS GIVEN,

SP = ₹1710

LOSS% = 5%

SO,

LET THE CP BE x

SO,

A.T.Q.,

L% = (L/CP)*100

5 = [(x - 1710)/x]*100

5x/100 = (x - 1710)

x/20 = (x-1710)

x = 20(x-1710)

x = 20x - 34200

34200 = 19x

x = 34200/19

x = 1800

NOW,

IN ORDER TO GAIN 5%,

PARAMETERS GIVEN,

PROFIT% = 5%

CP = 1800

P% = (P/CP)*100

5 = [(x - 1800)/1800)]*100

(5*1800)/100 = (x-1800)

90 = x-1800

x = 90+1800

x = ₹1890

SO,

HE SHOULD SELL THE CAMERA AT ₹1890 IN ORDER TO GAIN 5% PROFIT!!!
