Question

Neha Chaudhary bought some goods for Rs.10000. She sold half of the goods at
a loss of 25%. At what percent of profit should she sell the remaining goods so
that she gets a gain of 38% on the whole transaction?

Answer 1

C.P. of goods = Rs. 10000
Gain = 38%
Selling Price = 10,000×38/100
= Rs. 13,800
Amount Loss on selling half of goods =Rs. 5000×25%
= 1250
Total loss = 5000-1250 = Rs. 3750
Required S.P. = 13,800-3750
= 10050
Required gain = 10050-5000
= Rs. 5050
Required gain % = gain/c. p. ×100
= 5050/5000×100
= 101%
