Q:

Namitha sold a powerbank which is at the cost of Rs. 1950 at a loss of 25%. Find at what cost will she have to sell it to get a profit of 25%?

A) Rs. 3680
B) Rs. 3560
C) Rs. 3320
D) Rs. 3250

Answer: D) Rs. 3250 

Explanation:

Let the Cost price of the powerbank = Rs. P

But given that by selling it at Rs. 1950, it gives a loss of 25%

=> P x 75/100 = 1950

=>P = 1950 x 100/75P = Rs. 2600

Now, to get a profit of 25%

Selling Price = 2500 × 125/100 = Rs. 3250
