​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs 133.416

Step-by-step explanation:

An article is sold at loss of 15 percent if it is being sold at 30.60 Rs more he would have gained 10 %.

Let say Article cost Price = Rs C

Sold at 15 % loss

15% loss = (15/100)C = 0.15C

Selling Price = C - 0.15C = 0.85C Rs

10% Gain  = (10/100)C = 0.1C Rs

Selling price with 10% gain = C + 0.1C = 1.1C Rs

0.85C + 30.6  = 1.1C

=> 0.25C = 30.6

=> C = 122.4

Cost Price = Rs 122.4

9 % profit = (9/100) * 122.4 = 11.016

To earn profit of 9 %  it should be sold  for = 122.4 + 11.016 = Rs 133.416
