Question

a table was bought for Rs 800. at what price must it be sold in order to gain 15 percent. answer with solution​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 920

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price = Rs. 800

Selling price = 800 + 15% of 800

So, we need to find 15% of 800, and add it to get the answer.

15% of 800 = 15/100 x 800

If we cut both zeroes from 100 and 800, we will get:

15 x 8 = 120

Now we will add 120 and 800.

120 + 800 = 920

.: The table must be sold at Rs. 920 to gain a 15% profit.

Hope it helps! :)
