Question

By selling an almirah for Rs 10416, a shopkeeper would gain 12%. If it is sold for Rs 9114, find his gain or loss percentage?

Answer 1

hello users...

Given that:-
Selling.price of almirah = 10416 Rs
and
gain% = 12 %

we have to find:
loss or gain % when it is sold for Rs 9114 .

solution:-
we know that:
C.P = 100 × S.P / (100 + gain%)
and
loss% = 100 * loss / C.P

=> C.P  = 100 ×10416 / (100 + 12)

=>C.P = 1041600 / 112 = 9300 Rs

now,
when the almirah sold for RS 9114 
then the seller get loss of 186 Rs

=>loss% = 100 * loss / C.P

=> loss% = 186 * 100 / 9300

= 18600 / 9300 = 2% Answer 

Hence 
the seller get 2% loss for selling that almirah @ 9114 Rs.
