Answer:
He will gain 18 per cent.
Step-by-step explanation:
Profit (%) = Profit/CP * 100
= (SP - CP)/CP * 100
= (SP/CP - 1) * 100
As he has made a loss, his Profit (%) = -10. Also SP = 135
Susbtituting in the above equation, we get:
-10 = (135/CP - 1) * 100
-10/100 = (135/CP - 1)
135/CP -1 = -0.1
135/CP = 0.9
CP = 135/0.9 = 150
Cost Price of the shirt is Rs.150
Now, if he sells the shirt for Rs.177, we have SP = 177. CP = 150
Profit = SP - CP = 177-150 = 27
Profit (%) = Profit/CP * 100
= (27/150) * 100
= 18%
