Answer 1

Hey mate here is your answer : SP =48 rupees

L%=20%

CP=SP ×100/100-L%

CP= 48×100/100-20

CP= 48×100/80

CP = 60 rupees

Shopkeeper wants to gain 20 % and CP = 60 rs

Then SP = CP(100+G%)/100

= 60(100+20)/100

= 60×120/100

SP= 72 rupees

Answer 2

Answer:

The S. P needs to be rs. 72 to get a gain of 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

S. P (selling price) = rupees. 48

Loss % = 20%

To find C. P (cost price)

C. P =  S. P×100 / 100 - LOSS%

C. P = 48 × 100 / 100 - 20

C. P = 4800 / 80

C. P = rs. 60

If shopkeeper needs to gain 20% then,

S. P = C. P (100 + G%) /100

S. P = 60 ( 100 + 20) /100

S. P = 7200/100

S. P = 72 rupees

The shopkeeper needs to set S. P at 72 rupees to get a gain of 20%
