Question

A man sold a cricket ball for ₹450 at a loss of 10%. At what price he should sell it so as to gain 10%

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given S.P=450

LOSS=10%

GAIN=10%

let C.P=x

LOSS%=C.P-S.P/C.P  * 100

10=x-450/x *100

10x=100x-45000

100x-10x=45000

90x=45000

x=45000/90

x=500

C.P=500, S.P=450 ,PROFIT%=10%

PROFIT=500*10/100

=50

So S.P=500+50

         =550 to gain 10%
