Question

by selling a bed sheet for rupees 96 a man loses 4% for what amount should he sell it so as to gain 20%​

Answer 1

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost price= X

Given selling price= 96

loss = 4% of cost price= 4X /100

loss = cost price- selling price

4X/100 = X - 96

X/25 = X - 96

X - X/25 = 96

24X/25 = 96

X= 96 x 25/24= 100

cost price = 100

for 20%. gain selling price should be 100+100 × 20/100 =

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let cost price is x

selling price = 96

loss=4% of cost price =4x/100

loss = cp -sp

4x/100 = x - 96

x/25 =x - 96

x - x/25 =96

24x/25 = 96

x = 96*20/100

x = 100

cost price = 100

for 20% gain selling price should be

100+100*20/100

120
