Question

If a man lost 4% by selling oranges at the rate of
12 a rupee at how many a rupee must he sell them
to gain 44%?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

96% cost of a orange = Rs12

100% = 12/96 * 100 = 100/8

c.p of 1 orange = Rs100/8

required s.p per orange to gain 44%

= 100/8 + 44% of 100/8 = 100/8 + 44/8

= 144/8 = Rs18 ,so he must sell Rs 18 a orange to gain 44% .
