Question

A table was sold for ₹2142 at a gain of 5%. At what price should it be sold to gain 10%.

Answer 1

105%=2142
110%=2142×110/105=2244

Answer 2

your answer is 2244.......

step by step explaintion:

selling price = 2142

gain = 5%

let the cost price be 'x'

then according to the question

⇒x+5x/100 = 2142

⇒x=x/20=2142

⇒21x=2142×20

⇒x=2040

so, the selling price = cost price + gain

⇒2040+2040×10/100

⇒2040+204

⇒2244

so, the shopkeeper should sell the table for rs.2244 to gain 10% profit
