Question

An article is sold for Rs. 23 at a loss of Rs. 7. Find the selling price if sold at 20% profit.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

36 is selling Price

Step-by-step explanation:

If it's sold at 23

7 Rs loss is beared

therefore

cost price = Selling price + Loss

Therefore Cost price is 30 RS

now

Profit is 20%

there fore

20% OF RS 30 = 6 RS

THEREFORE SELLING PRICE IS CP+ Profit

hence proved

30+6= 36rs

Answer 2

Answer:

THE SP IS ₹36

Step-by-step explanation:

SP = ₹23

LOSS = ₹7

LET THE CP BE x

SO,

WE KNOW,

CP = SP+L

     = ₹23+₹7

     = ₹30

NOW,

CP = ₹30

PROFIT% = 20%

LET THE SP BE x

SO,

P%=(P/CP)*100

20 = [(x-30)/30]*100

20/100=(x-30)/30

1/5=(x-30)/30

30/5=(x-30)

6=x-30

x=6+30

x=36
