by selling a flower pot for 528, a woman gains 20%. at what price should she it to gain 25%
Answers
Answer:
She should sell at RS 550
Step-by-step explanation:
For a profit of 20%
Selling price SP= 120% of cost price CP
528=120×CP÷100
CP = 528×10÷12
For a profit of 25% SP = 125% of CP
= 125×528×10÷(12×100)
=550
she should sell it for₹550
the total cost with 20% profit=528
let the cost with out 20% profit be x
528=(20/100)×x+x
now let us take LCM
as we know LCM=100
we get (20x+100x)/100
120x/100=528
120x=52800
x=52800/120
x=₹440
actual cost of pot = ₹440
cost of pot with 25% = (25/100) ×440+440
we get 110+440= 550
cost of pot with 25% of profit=₹550
