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 .
