Question

By selling a wall clock for rupees 368 , I lose 8 percent . What should be the selling price to gain 10 percent?​

Answer 1

Sold at 368 at 8% loss

So Sp = (100-8)% of CP

368 = 92% of CP

CP = 368× 100/92 = 400

Now Selling price to gain 10%

So it should be sell at (100+10)% of CP

= 110% of CP

= 110× 400/100 = 440 rs

Answer 2

Answer:

₹ 440

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling price of the wall clock = RS 368

Loss percentage = 8%

let Cost price be 'x'

So, Selling price = (100-8)% of x

=> RS 368 = 92% of x

Now, x = Rs 368 × 100/92

=> x = Rs 400

Again, To gain 10%

= ₹ 400 + ( 10% of 400)

= ₹400 +(10/100 × 400)

= ₹ 400 + 40

= ₹ 440.

Therefore, To gain 10% the selling price of the wall clock should be ₹440.
