Question

by selling a bouquet for 322rs,a florist gains 15 percent. at what price should he sell it to gain 25 percent?​

Answer 1

Let selling price be x

by selling a bouquet for rupees 322 a florist gains 15%

so, 322 = x + 15%x

322 = 100%x + 15%x

322 = 115%x

(115x/100) = 322

115x = 32200

x = 32200/115

x = 280

so, selling price is x = 280

25% gain of selling price = 280 + 25% of 280 = 280 + 70 = 350
