Question

A person sold a watch for Rs. 846& incurred a loss of 6%. At what price would it be sold

so as to earn a profit of 17%?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer will be 1049.2 rupee.

Step-by-step explanation:

SP or sold price = 846

Loss percent = 6

Hence, CP or cost price equals;

6/100 * 846 = 50.76

CP = 846 + 50.76

= 896.76

Price at which it should be sold to earn a profit of 17% equals;

17% of 896.76

17/100 × 896.76

152.44

SP (to earn 17 percent profit) = 896.76 + 152.44 = 1049.2 rupees.

That's all.

Answer 2

Answer:

1053

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose cost price of the watch is X

sold at 846 at loss of 6 %

that is- x-6%of X= 846

x-6x/100=846

47x/50=846

X=900

so cost price is 900

now selling price that we get profit of 17%

900+17%of900

900+17×900/100

900+153

1053
