Question

by selling an article for Rs 300 a man gains rupees 25 at what price should be and sell the article to gain 25%​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling price is 300

Profit is Rs. 25

Cost price= 300-25= 275

To gain 25% we have to find 25% of 300 and then add it to 275

= 25/100 × 275

= 75

= 275+75 = 350

Therefore,the cost price of the article is Rs.275

To gain 25% profit it should be sold for Rs.350.

Given✳:

The selling price of an article = Rs 300

Gain price = Rs 25

Find✳:

Selling prince of the article to gain 25%

Solution✳:

We know that Gain = selling price - cost price

⇒cost price = selling price - gain

⇒Cost price of article = Rs 300- Rs 25 = Rs 275

For 20 % gain , Gain = 20% of cost price

=$\dfrac{20}{100}\times275</p><p>=\dfrac{275}{5}$

=55

⇒ For 20 % gain , Gain should be Rs 55.

New selling price

= Cost price+ Gain

= Rs 275+ Rs 55

= Rs 330.

Hence, he should sell the article for Rs 330 to gain 20%.
