Question

A table
was sold for Rupees 2142 at a profit of 5% at what price should be sold to gain 10℅​

Answer 1

Answer:

sp of the table=2142

gain=5%

cp=100/(100+gain%)*sp

=100/(100+5)*2142

=100/105*2142

=2040

now cp is 2040

required gain=10%

sp=(100+gain%)/100*cp

=110/100*2040=2244

so the table should be sold at ₹ 2244 to gain 10%
