Answer 2

The article should be sold for Rs. 345 to make a profit of 15%.

Given:

selling price of an article = 270

loss percentage = 10%

To Find:

the price at which the article should be sold to make a profit of 15%

Solution:

let the cost price of the article be x

⇒ 270 = (1 - 10/100)x

270 = 0.9x

x = 270/0.9

x = 300

now, we know that the cost price of the article is 300

let the selling price at 15% profit be y

⇒ y = (1 + 15/100) × 300

y = 1.15 × 300

y = 345

Thus, the article should be sold for Rs. 345 to make a profit of 15%.
