Question

On selling a calculator for Rs. 1325, A man gain 6%. For how much should he sell it to gain 12% ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Suppose the original price of calculator is x.

Gain percentage = 6%

Selling price = Rs.1325

So we have the selling price of calculator as;

=>x+x×6/100 = 1325

=>x+3x/50 = 1325

=>53x/50 = 1325

=>x = 1325×50/53

=> 1250

So the original price of calculator = Rs.1250

Now, to make a profit of 12%.

Selling price =>1250+1250×12/100

=>1250+150

=> Rs.1400

Therefore,

Selling price of calculator must have Rs.1400 to make a profit of 12%.
