Question

on selling a book for rs 48,a shopkeeper loses 20% .in order to gain 20%,what would be the selling price?

Answer 1

48* 100/80 equals 60 Then 60 multiplied by 120 and divided by 100 is 72 so sp is rs72

Answer 2

✨First we have to find the CP when the SP is Rs 48 and loss% is 20%

➡️CP=100/100-loss%*SP

➡️CP=100/100-20%*48

➡️CP =Rs 60

✨Next we have to find the SP when the CP is Rs 60 and the gain %is 20%

➡️SP = 100+Gain%/100*CP

➡️SP=100+20%/100*60

➡️SP=Rs 72

✨Therefore the shopkeeper should sell the book for Rs 72 in order to gain a profit of 20%
