Answer 2

Answer:

If he sells for RS.82.50 the profit would be 9.9%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given SP = 67.50 and Loss = 10%.

Loss=10%;

From the question selling price and loss is given, with these price we need to find the cost price.

CP=(SP×100)/Loss;

CP = 67.5 x 100/(100 - 10)

CP = 75.

Given, SP = 82.50 and cost price = 75.

Gain = SP-CP  

Gain=82.50 - 75

Gain= 7.5.

Gain % = Gain x 100/CP

Gain % =7.5 x 100/75

Gain= 9.9%
