Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A shopkeeper bought an article for rupees 2500.

a) at what price should he sell it to make a profit of 5%.

Calculation

$2500 \times \frac{5}{100} = 125$

> Rs. 2500 + Rs. 125 = Rs. 2725

So the price he should sell is 2725 rupees to get a profit of 5%

b) if he makes a loss of 20% by selling it what is the selling price

$2500 \times \frac{20}{100} = 500$

Rs. 2500 - Rs. 500 = Rs. 2000

So the selling price is Rs. 2000

Answer 2

Answer:

C.p=rs.20000

S.p=rs.2500

profit = S.p-C.p= 500

% profit = 500/2000×100 =25%
