Question

By selling a sofa set for Rs.10240 Ajay incurred a loss of 20% . If he wanted to make a profit of 8% at what price should he have sold it . Pls answer pls ​

Answer 1

Answer:

13824

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Selling price = 10240.

Given, Loss = 20%.

Let the cost price be 'x'.

∴ Selling price = Cost price - Loss

⇒ 10240 = x - (20x/100)

⇒ 10240 = 80x/100

⇒ 1024000 = 80x

⇒ 12800 = x.

Hence, the cost price is 12800.

Given, Profit = 8%.

∴ Selling price = [(100 + gain%)/100)] * CP

                        = [(100 + 8)/100] * 12800

                        = (108/100) * 12800

                        = 13824.

Therefore, Selling price of the sofa set = 13824.

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

sp of sofa=10240rs

ronie had loss of 20%

cp of sofa=100/100-loss%*sp

=100/100-20*10240=100/80*10240=

12800 rs

so sp when she wanted to gain 6%=

sp= 100+gain%/100*cp

=100+6%/100*12800=106/100*12800

=13568
