Question

By selling a bouquet for 322, a florist gains 15%. At what price should he sell it to gain 25%​

Answer 1

Answer:

He should sell it for 350Rs in order to gain 25%

Step-by-step Explanation :

Given : S.P = 322 Rs

Gain % = 15%

To find : At what price should he sell it to gain 25%​ = ?

We know that,

Gain % = S.P - C.P / C.P × 100

Substituting the given value in above formula we get,

15 = 322 - C.P / C.P × 100

15C.P = ( 322 - C.P ) × 100

15C.P = 32200 - 100C.P

15C.P + 100C.P = 32200

115C.P = 32200

C.P = 32200/115

C.P = 280 Rs

Now, to gain 25% :

280 × 25/100 = 70Rs

So, Selling price = 280 + 70

= 350 Rs

Hence , he should sell it for 350Rs in order to gain 25%
