Question

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

Answer 1

let original price be x
In losing 4%
s.p = x - ( 4/100 × x )
24480 = x - x/25
24480 = 24/25 × x
x = 25500
To gain 4%
s.p = x + (4/100 × x)
= 25500 + 1020
= 26520

Answer 2

Answer:

Rs.26520

Step-by-step explanation:

SP of computer = Rs.24480

Loss = 4%

$CP =\frac{SP \times 100}{100-L\%}$

$CP =\frac{24480 \times 100}{100-4}$

$CP =25500$

Now we are supposed to find the selling price at which the gain is 4%

So, CP = Rs. 25500

Profit% = 4%

Profit = $4\% \times 25500$

Profit = $\frac{4}{100}\times 25500$

Profit = $1020$

SP = CP+Profit = 25500+1020=Rs.26520

Hence he should sell it at Rs.26520 to gain 4%
