Question

If by selling a saree for Rs 200 a shopkeeper suffers a loss of 20% for what amount should he sell it as to gain a property of 10 %

Answer 1

Answer:

275 Rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the real cost of saree be x.

Then,

Loss of 20% :

$= x - 20\% \: of \: x = 200 \\ = x - \frac{20}{100} x = 200 \\ = \frac{x}{1} - \frac{x}{5} = 200 \\ = \frac{5x - x}{5} = 200$

$= \frac{4x}{5} = 200 \\ = 4x = 200 \times 5 = 1000 \\ = x = \frac{1000}{4} = 250 \: rupees$

Therefore, the cost of the saree is 250 Rupees.

Then,

Gain of 10% :

$= x + 10\% \: of \: x(x = 250 \: rupees) \\ = 250 + ( \frac{10}{100} \times 250) \\ = 250 + 25 \\ = 275 \: rupees$
