Question

On selling an artical for ₹425 a man loses 15% at what price should be sell to gain 15%?

Answer 1

Answer:

574

Step-by-step explanation:

S.P = 425

Let C.P be x

x-425 / x * 100 = 15

100x - 42500 / x = 15

100x - 42500 = 15x

85 x = 42500

x= 500 = C.P

If Gain should be 15% then,

C.P = 500

S.P = y

y - 500 / 500 * 100 = 15

y - 500 / 5 =15

y - 500 = 75

y = 574

Therefore the SP shold be 574 rupees
