Question

By selling a DVD player for rupees 2816, a shop keeper lost 12%. For what amount should he have sold it to gain 12%?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

SP = RS. 2816

L% = 12%

CP = 100/100 - L × SP

CP = 100/88×2816

CP = RS. 3200

Now,

CP = Rs. 3200

P% = 12%

SP = 100+G%/100×CP

SP = 100+12/100×3200

SP = Rs. 3584
