Answer 2

At 14% profit, the selling price was Rs. 855 and at 6% loss, the selling price was Rs. 705.

Given:

Aadesh bought an article for 750.

To Find:

We have to Find its selling price if it is sold at (i) 14% profit and (ii) 6% loss​.

Solution:

(i)  We know that Aadesh had 14% profit.

Let us assume,

Aadesh bought an article of Rs.100, which he sold for Rs. 114

So, he bought an article of Rs.1, which he sold for Rs. $\frac{114}{100}$

So, he bought an article for Rs.750, which he sold for Rs. $\frac{114*750}{100} =855$

(ii)  We know that Aadesh had 6% loss.

Let us assume,

Aadesh bought an article for Rs.100, which he sold for Rs. 94.

So, he bought an article of Rs.1, which he sold for Rs. $\frac{94}{100}$

So, he bought an article for Rs.750, which he sold for Rs.  $\frac{94*750}{100} =705$

Hence, at 14% profit, the selling price was Rs. 855 and at 6% loss, the selling price was Rs. 705.
