Question

By selling an article of 300 rs.pardeep losses rs. 60 at wht price must he sell the article to gain 15%

Answer 1

S.P =RS 300

losses=Rs 60

C.P=S.P+Losses=RS 360

then gain=15%

S.P=(100+GAIN%)*C.P/100

New S.P= (115*360)/100

NEW S.P=RS 414.

Answer 2

cost price is always 100%
loss = cost price - selling price
so cost price = loss + selling price = 300+60 = 360
100% = 360 then 15 % gain means 115% total selling
= (360/100)×115 = 18×23 = 414Rs
