Answer 1

Answer:

Rs 1890

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be x. Man losses an amount of 5%:

⇒ orig. price - 5% of orig. = Rs 1710

⇒ x - 5% of x = 1710

⇒ x - (5/100  × x) = 1710

⇒ (100x - 5x)/100 = 1710

⇒ x = (1710 × 100)/95

⇒ x = 1800

For a gain of 5%:

price would be = original + 5% of original

              = 1800 + (5/100 * 1800)

              = 1800 + 90

              = 1890

Answer 2

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 :

$\bf\pink{Given:}$

• Selling price of camera is Rs 1710 .

• Loss percentage is 5% .

$\bf\pink{To\:find:}$

• selling price to get 5% profit ?

Explanation :

To find the selling price to get 5% profit we need to find its cost price first .

$\sf\purple{ cost\:price = \dfrac{100}{100 - loss\: percentage}\times selling\:price}$

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf{ \dfrac{100}{100 - 5}\times 1710}$

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf{ \dfrac{100}{95}\times 1710}$

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf{ 100\times 18}$

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf{ 1800}$

• Therefore the cost price is Rs 1800 .

Now selling price to get 5% profit is :

$\sf\purple{Selling\:price = \dfrac{100 + profit\: percentage}{100}\times cost\:price}$

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf{\dfrac{100 + 5}{100}\times 1800}$

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf{\dfrac{105}{100}\times 1800}$

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf{105\times 18}$

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf{ 1890}$

• Therefore he should sell it at Rs 1890 to get 5% profit .
