By selling an article for rs 480 a man gains 20% on the c.p. At what price should he sell it to gain 30%

Answer 1

Answer: 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

bought an article in = 200 rs.

he sold in 10% profit

so selling price = 200+ 10% of 200

= 200+ 20

= 220 rs.

when he sold it to 230 rs. his profit = 30 rs

so % profit = 30/ 200 * 100

= 15%

so net change in profit = 15% -10%

= 5%
