Answer 2

ANSWER:

AN ARTICLE SHOULD BE SOLD AT RS 160

Step-by-step explanation:

SP = Rs 250

P % = 25%

•°• CP =?

•°• SP = CP [ 100 + P%÷100 ]

•°• 250 = CP [ 100 + 25 ÷ 100 ]

•°• 250 = CP [ 125 ÷ 100 ]

•°• 250 = CP × 5 ÷ 4

•°• 250 × 4 ÷ 5 = CP

•°• 50 × 4 = CP

•°• CP = RS 200

IF AN ARTICLE IS SOLD AT RS 250 TO GAIN 25%.....IT'S CP IS RS 200

CP = RS 200

L% = 20%

•°• SP = ?

•°• SP = CP [ 100 - L% ÷ 100 ]

•°• SP = 200 [ 100 - 20 ÷ 100 ]

•°• SP = 200 [ 80 ÷ 100 ]

•°• SP = 200 × 4 ÷ 5

•°• SP = 800 ÷ 5

•`• SP = RS 160

ANS...TO SELL AN ARTICLE AT 20% LOSS,,,IT SHOULD

BE SOLD AT RS 160...
