Answer 1

Anuj sells a shirt for rupees 725 and loses rupees 25..what should he charge for the shirts if he wants to gains 20%?

Answer 2

Given :-

• Selling price of shirt = 725 Rs
• Loss = 25
• Gain he wants from shirt = 20 %

To find :-

• Charge for the shirts if he wants to gains 20%

Solution :-

At first we need to find Cost Price of Shirt and CP will be put in the formula which will give charge for the shirts if he wants to gains 20%.

●${\underline{\underline{\sf{Cost \: Price \: of \: Shirt \: is : }}}}$

$\boxed{\sf{\implies{Cost \: price = Selling \: Price + Loss}}}$

${\sf{\implies{Cost \: price = 725 +25}}}$

$\boxed{ \blue{\sf{\implies{Cost \: price = 750 \: Rs }}}}$

●${\underline{\underline{\text{\bf{Charge for the shirts if he wants to gains 20 \% : }}}}}$

Now, When

• Profit = 20 %
• Then selling price should be or charge.

${\sf{\longmapsto{ Selling \: price = \cfrac{C.P (100 + Profit \: \%) }{100}}}}$

${\sf{\longmapsto{ Selling \: price = \cfrac{750 (100 + 20) }{100}}}}$

${\sf{\longmapsto{ Selling \: price = \cfrac{750 (120) }{100}}}}$

${\sf{\longmapsto{ Selling \: price = \cfrac{75(12) }{1}}}}$

${\sf{\longmapsto{ Selling \: price = 75 \times 12}}}$

${ \large{ \underline{ \boxed{ \red{\sf{\longmapsto{ Selling \: price = 900 \: Rs }}}}}}}$

So, charge for the shirts if he wants to gains 20% is 900 Rs .
