Question

kasturi makes a gain of 17% by selling a mango for rs 5265 for what price should she sell it to make a gain of 20%​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose,

buying price = x rs

by condition,

x+x.17%=5265

=> x+(17x/100)=5265

=> (100x+17x)/100=5265

=> 117x=526500

=> x= 526500/117

=> x=4500 rs

so, buying price is 4500rs

if gain of 20%, she should sell

= 4500+4500x20%

= 4500+900

= 5400rs

(ans.)

5400rs price should she sell it to make a gain of 20%.
