Answer 1

Solutions :-

Given :
Cost Price of gas-chullah = Rs 900
Profit = 5%

Find the Selling price of gas-chullah :-

S.P = C.P + Profit% of C.P
= 900 + 5% of 900
= 900 + 0.05 × 900
= 900 + 45
= 945

Now, For Archana
Cost Price of gas-chullah = Rs 945
Loss = 20%

Find the Selling price of gas-chullah :-

S.P = C.P - Loss% of C.P
= 945 - 20% of 945
= 945 - 0.2 × 945
= 945 - 189
= 756
