Question

By selling a mobile for 8500 there is a loss of 6 1/4%, for how much should it be sold to get a gain of 6 1/4%

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 9632

Step-by-step explanation:

selling price of mobile = 8500

loss % = 6 1/4 = 25/4%

cost price of mobile = selling price + loss%

let cost price be x

$x = 8500 + ( \frac{ 6.25 }{100} \times x) \\ \\ x - \frac{6.25x}{100} = 8500 \\ 100x - 6.25x = 8500 \times 100 \\ 93.75x = 8500 \times 100 \\ x = \frac{8500 \times 100}{93.75} \\ x = 90.66 \times 100 \\ x = 9066$

cost price of mobile = Rs. 9066

to get a profit of 6 1/4 % she needs to sell at

selling price = cost price + profit%

$= 9066 + ( \frac{6.25}{100} \times 9066) \\ = 9066 +( 6.25 \times 90.66) \\ = 9066 + 566 \\ = 9632$

selling price should be = Rs. 9632
