SP=rs6000
profit=25℅
CP=100× sp/100+p℅
=100×6000/100+25
=100×6000/125=rs4800
now Cp=rs6600
SP=100+P℅×CP/100
=100+25×6600/100
=125×6600/100
=8250rs
profit=25℅
CP=100× sp/100+p℅
=100×6000/100+25
=100×6000/125=rs4800
now Cp=rs6600
SP=100+P℅×CP/100
=100+25×6600/100
=125×6600/100
=8250rs

Answer:
Her new selling price in order to make the same percentage profit should be option C) Rs 6750
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost price of the dress = x
she made a profit of 25% by selling it at Rs 6000
=> selling price = x + 25x/100 = 6000
=> 125x/100 = 6000
=> x = 6000 x 100/125
=> x = 4800
Now since she has to pay Rs 600 more for the same dress, hence increased cost price,
CP = 4800 + 600 = 5400
she has to make a profit of 25%
=> profit = 5400 x 25/100 = 1350
Hence new selling price
SP = 5400 + 1350 = 6750
So her new selling price in order to make the same percentage profit should be option C) Rs 6750
