Question

by selling a tie for 252 a shopkeeper gains 5 percent at what price should he sell the tie to gain 35 percent pls answer in easy

Answer 1

Let the Cost Price be Rs a

Gain percent = 5 %

Selling price = 252

=> Cost Price + Gain = 252

=> a + 5 % of a = 252

=> a + 5a/ 100 = 252

=> a + a/20 = 252

=> 21a/20 = 252

=> a = 252 × 20 / 21

=> a = 12 × 20

=> a = 240

Cost Price = Rs 240

Now,

To get 35 % Gain,

Selling price = Cost Price + 35% of Cost Price

SP = 240 + 35× 240 / 100

SP = 240 + 7 × 12

SP = 240 + 84

SP = Rs 324

To get 35 % Profit, he should sell the tie in Rs 324

Answer 2

hey dear

here is your answer

Solution

CP of an object = (100) / (100+ gain) * SP

at rupees 252 gain 5%

we use this formula

100 / ( 100+ 5) * 252

100 / 105 * 252

after simplifying this

it comes rupees 240


SP of an article gain 35%

[ ( 100+ gain) / 100] * CP

[ ( 100 + 35) / 100 ] * 240

[ ( 135 /100)] *240

after simplifying this

it come rupees 324

so

at 35% selling he gain rupees 324

Answer is 324

hope it helps
