Question

By selling a watch for 1.275. Harish lost 15%. At what price should he sell to make a profit of
10%​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.5 , 1.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Cost Price be x

Given Selling Price = 1.275

Loss % = 15 %

Loss % = (C.P - S.P)/C.P *100

15 = (x - 1.275)/x * 100

15 = 100 - 127.5/x

127.5/x = 85

x = 127.5/85 = 1.5

Therefore the Cost Price is 1.5

Now for Gain of 10 % let the Selling Price be y

Gain % = (S.P - C.P)/C.P * 100

10 = (y - 1.5)/1.5 * 100

y/1.5 - 1 = 0.1

y/1.5 = 1.1

y = 1.65

Therefore for gain of 10% the Selling Price is 1.65
