cp=100/100+5*2142=2040

sp on desired gain 10%=100+10/100*2040=2244

Solution :-

Selling price = Rs. 2142

Gain = 5 %

Let the cost price be Rs. x

Then according to the question.

⇒ x + (x*5)/100 = 2142

⇒ x + x/20 = 2142

⇒ (20x + x)/20 = 2142

⇒ 21x/20 = 2142

⇒ 21x = 2142*20

⇒ x = 42840/21

⇒ x = 2040

So, the cost price of the table is Rs. 2040

Now,

Gain needed = 10 %

So, the selling price = Cost price + gain

⇒ 2040 + (2040*10)/100

⇒ 2040 + 204

⇒ 2244

So, the shopkeeper should sell the table in Rs. 2244 to get a gain of 10 %
