Question

please explain the answer 5 sum

Answer 1

Rs.1100

Step-by-step explanation:

Here SP = Rs. 800

Loss = 20%

Let CP was x

And we know that

CP - Loss = SP

∴ x - 20% of x = 800

x - (20/100)x = 800

x - x/5 = 800

4x/5 = 800

x = (800 × 5)/4

x = 1000

∴ CP of the cycle is Rs.1000

Now to make a profit of 10%

SP = CP + 10% of CP

= 1000 + (10/100)×1000

= 1000 + 100

= 1100

∴ To make a profit of 10% the cycle should be sold for Rs.1100
