Question

Amit sells a scooter for Rs 18,000 thereby support a loss of 10% for what price should he have sold to get nine percent profit​

Answer 1

Answer:21,800/-

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of the scooter be =X

There is a loss of 10% :

Therefore,  X - (10/100) X= 18,000

                    X - X/10 = 18,000

                     9X/10 = 18,000

                     9X = 180000

                     X = 20,000/-

Hence we get the original price of the scooter is 20,000/-

To get profit of 9% :

we add original price with 9% of the original price:

                         =20,000 + (9/100) 20,000

                         =20,000+ 9×200

                         =20,000+1,800

                         =21,800/-

Hence to get the profit of 9% we have to sell scooter at the rate of 21,800/-
