Question

A table was sold for ₹2,142 at a gain of 5%.At what price should it be sold to gain 10%.​

Answer 1

Answer:

first of all the cost prizes =2142

and profit is 5%

therefore sale price is equal to

2142×(1/20)=107.1

therefore new cost price is 2142 + 107.1=2249 approx

if 10% gain is required then the new gain is is 2249 ×1/10=224.9

hence new selling price is

2249 + 22 4.9=2473.9Rs
