Answer 2

Answer :

The selling price will be 1750 to get a profit of 25%

Step-by-step Explanation :

Given : selling price = 1260

Loss percentage = 10%

Profit Expected = 25%

To find : selling price to get a profit of 25% = ?

It is given that,

S.P of table = 1260 Rs

Loss = 10%

Therefore,

C.P = 100/100 - Loss percentage × S.P

= 100/100-10 × 1260

= 100/90 × 1260

= 126000/90

= 1400

C.P of table is Rs 1400

It is given in the problem that Profit expected 25%

C.P = 100/100 + profit percentage × S.P

1400 = 100/100+25 × S.P

1400 = 100/125 × S.P

1400 × 125/100 = S.P

S.P = 1750

Thus, the selling price will be 1750 to get a profit of 25%
