Answer 1

Answer:

$\red { Selling \:price \:of \: sugar }\green {=Rs\:12.84}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$i)Selling \:price \: of \:sugar (s.p) = Rs \:11.16$

$Loss \:(l) = 7\%$

$cost \:price \: of \: sugar (c.p) \\= \frac{s.p \times 100}{100-l}\\= \frac{11.16 \times 100}{100-7}\\= \frac{1116}{93}\\=Rs\:12$

$ii) Cost \:price (c.p) = Rs \:12$

$Gain (g) = 7\%$

$Selling \:price \:of \:the \:sugar\\ = c.p \left(\frac{100+g}{100}\right)\\= 12 \left( \frac{100+7}{100}\right)\\= 12 \times \frac{107}{100}\\=Rs\:12.84$

Therefore.,

$\red { Selling \:price \:of \: sugar }\green {=Rs\:12.84}$
