Answer 2

The price he should sold it for Rs. 17550 to make 4% profit and he should buy the bike at Rs. 16875.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Selling price of bike = Rs. 13500

Loss% = 20%

So, the price at which he buy the bike is given by

$\dfrac{100}{100-20}\times 13500\\\\=\dfrac{100}{80}\times 13500\\\\=16875$

So, if he makes 4% profit,

then, the price he should sold it is given by

$\dfrac{100+4}{100}\times 16875\\\\=\dfrac{104}{100}\times 16875\\\\=1.04\times 16875\\\\=17550$

Hence, the price he should sold it for Rs. 17550 to make 4% profit and he should buy the bike at Rs. 16875.
