A person sells an article for Rs. 480 at a loss of 20%.
Find at what price should he sell the same article to gain
40%
(a) Rs. 600
(b) Rs. 750
6) Rs. 840
(d) Rs. 960​

Answer 1

• x- 20x/100 = 480
• x-2x/10=480
• 10x-2x/10=480
• 8x/10=480
• 8x=4800
• x=4800/8

x=600

• 600×40/100
• 6×40=240

so therefore he must sell the article at 600+240=840

for 40% profit

hence c) rs. 840 is right ans
