Answer 2

Answer:

Rs. 1200

Step-by-step explanation:

Question:

                 SP = rs.720

                 loss = 25%

To find:

           to gain 25% it must be sold for

Solution:

               CP = SP × 100 / 100 - L%

                     = 720 × 100 / 100 - 25

                     = 72000 / 75

                     = Rs. 960

               SP to gain 25%

               SP =  CP (100 + P%) / 100

                     = 960 (100 + 25) / 100

                     = 960 (125) / 100

                     = Rs. 1200

Therefore the SP is Rs.1200 to gain 25%
