By selling a flower pot for rs 528 a women gains 20 percentage .At what price should she sell it to gain 25 percentage?
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
S.P. =C.P./100(PROFIT%+100)
528 =x/100(20+100)
528 =x/100×120
528 =6x/5
528×5=6x
2640 =6×
2640/6 =x
440 =x
So cost price is 440
now second step
S.p.=C.p./100(profit% +100)
S.p.= 440/100(25+100)
S.p.=440/100×125
S.p.=550ans

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
