Question

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 149 Rs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sold Price = 105 Rs

loss = 9%

Loss = 9% ×105  = 9/100 x 105

Loss  = 0.09 x 105 9.45 Rs

Cost Price =Sold Price + loss

                  = 105 + 9.45

                  = 114.45 Rs

Gain = Cost Price × gain %

        =   114 . 45 × 30%

        =   114 .45 x 30/100

        = 114.45 x 0.3 = 34.335

        = 114.45 + 34.335

        = 148 .785 ~ 149 Rs

Its selling price should be 149 Rs.
