Step-by-step explanation:

When shopkeeper sells coat for rupees 752 he have 6% loss

752 is 94 % of its cost price

Let cost price = x

$94\% \: ofx \: = 752 \\ \frac{94 \times x}{100} = 752 \\ x = \frac{752 \times 100}{94} \\ 800rs \: cost \: price$

than what price he should sell the coat to get 5% prifite

Let profite = x

Suppose 800 rs is only 95% of selling price

$95\%ofx \: = 800 \\ \frac{95 \times x}{100} = 800 \\ x = \frac{800 \times 100}{95} \\ 843$
