$\:$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

• Selling price of watch is ₹1350 ,she suffered a loss of 10%
• Find cost price and find gain if she sells watch for ₹1800

According to the question

there is a loss of 10%

We know that CP is 100%

If loss is 10% then Selling price would be 100-10 = 90%

So,given that

• 90% = 1350
• → 10 % = 150
• 100% = ₹1500

hence its cost price was ₹1500

If she sells it for ₹1800

Gain = 1800-1500 = 300

Gain% = 300/1500 ×100 = 20%

She will have gain 20% if she sells the watch for ₹1800
