if A shopkeeper sells some plastic chairs for rupees 1296 he will make a profit of 8% but he sells them at a loss of 5% what is his selling price and pls do this byX method

Answer 1

$\large{\boxed{\bold{Answer:}}}$

Profit = 8%

According to the question,

$cp \times \frac{108}{100} = 1296 \\ \\ = > cp = 1296 \times \frac{108}{100} \\ \\ = > cp = 12 \times 100 \\ \\ = > cp = 1200$

When the shopkeeper sells at loss of 5%

$= > 1200 \times \frac{95}{100} \\ \\ => 1140$

The selling price at the loss of 5% is 1140rs
