Question

On selling a handcart for rs 750, a labourer loses 25%, at what price should he sell the hand cart to gain 25%

Answer 1

hey buddy here is your answer...

let the C.P of handcraft = X

S.P = X-25% of X (0.75X)

==> 0.75 X = 750 ...

==> X = 750/0.75 = 1000 ( C.P)

for gaining 25% S.P should be ..

==> 1000+ 25% of 1000 (250 RS )

===> 1000+250 = 1250 rs( Answer for 25% gain )

Answer 2

S.P = ₹ 750

Loss % = 25%

C.P = 100 / 100 - L % × SP

= 100 / 100 - 25 × 750

= 100 / 75 ×750

= ₹ 1000

Gain= 25%

S.P = 100 + G % / 100 × CP

= 100 + 25 / 100 × 1000

= 125 / 100 × 1000

= ₹ 1250
