Question

By selling a pair of jeans for ₹432,sam loses 4%.For how much should he sell it to gain 6%?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price be Rs. 'x'

Given : Selling price = Rs. 432 and loss = 4 %

So, according to the question.

x - (x × 4)/100 = 432

x - x/25 = 432

24x = 432*25

x = 10800/24

x = 450

So, the cost price is Rs. 450

Now, the selling price if sell it at a gain of 6 %

Gain = (450*6)/100

Gain = Rs. 27

So,

Selling price = Cost price + Gain

SP = 450 + 27

SP = Rs. 472

So, Selling price should be Rs.472 for getting a gain of 6 %.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x = (x×4)/100 = 432

= x-x/25 = 432

=24x =432 × 25

= x = 10800/24

= x = 450

c.p =Rs 2450

Gain% (450 × 6)/100 = Rs 24

s.p = c.p+Gain

=450+25

=Rs472
