Question

by selling a tie for rupees 285 a shopkeeper loses 5% at what price should he sell the tie so as to gain 15%​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

selling value of shirt = 285

loss = 5%

therefore 285 is 95% of total cost of shirt

let the total value of shirt be x

95% of x=285

95/100 * x =285

19/20 * x= 285

x = 285*20/19

x= 15*20

x=300rupees

total cost of shirt = 300

for profit of 15 percent,

15% of 300=15/100*300

=15*3

=45rupees

for 15% profit he should sell the shirt for

300 + 45

=345 rupees
