Question

on selling a computer for Rs 24480, a dealer loss 4%.for how muc h should he sell it to gain 4%?

Answer 1

Hi ,

i ) selling price of the computer

= sp1= Rs 24480

Loss = l = 4 %

Let the cost price of the computer

= c.p 

Cp = ( sp1 × 100 )/ ( 100 - l )

= ( 24480 × 100 )/ ( 100 - 4 )

= 2448000/ 96

Cp = Rs 25500

ii ) cost price = Rs 25500

gain = g = 4%

Let the selling price = sp2

Sp2 = cp× ( 100 + g )/ 100

= 25500 × ( 100 + 4 ) / 100

= ( 25500 × 104 )/100

= 255 × 104

= Rs 26520

Therefore ,

He has to sell the computer at

Rs 26520 to gain 4 %.

I hope this helps you.
