Question

A man sold a cow for Rs 472 and lost Rs. 38. For how much should he have sold it, if

were to make a profit of Rs. 32.​

Answer 1

Answer:

At rs 184 he will get 15% profit

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s assume X as the Price of the cow.

To make the loss of 15%, he should sell the cow at the price, 15% lesser than it’s original price.

so price he sold the cow is ((100–15)/100)*X = 136

==> 85/100*X=136

Therefore,

X=136*100/85= Rs. 160/-( actual price)

Now,

To make 15% profit on its original price he should sell the cow at a 15% higher rate

therefore,

S.P= 160*115/100

==>Rs. 184/- (ANS)(price at which he will get 15% profit)

hope this answers help u
