selling price with 20% intrest=528
x+20/100×x=528
x+x/5=528
take the lcm , LCM of 1and 5 is 1
(5x+x)/5=528
6x=2640
x= 2640/6
x=440
selling price with 25% of profit=
440+25/100×440
440+110

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
