Question

an article was sold at a certain prices.by selling it at one fifth of that price.The loss increased would be 20%.Find the gain on the original price.type full solved answer please!​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let s.p be x

Now sold at 80%, x×80/100=4x/5

C.p=(4x/5)(100/90)=8x/9

Loss is 10%

L=x-4x/5=x/5

When sold at x,

P=x-8x/9=x/9

For 8x/9…………profit is x/9

For 100…………………………..?

100(x/9)(9/8x)=25/2=12and a half%
