Question

Pratap purchased a book for Rs 400 and sold it at 60%profit. Find its actual loss
​

Answer 1

Answer:

I guess the Q should be "find it's actual profit". here we go-

Step-by-step explanation:

CP = ₹400

SP = 60% of CP + CP

= 60×400/100 + 400

= 240 + 400

= 640

ans = ₹40 profit

Answer 2

Answer:

Let original cost price be _ RS 100.

Original selling price considering 20% profit _ RS 120

As per condition of the problem new selling price would be { 100–10}*130/100= RS 117

Therefore difference between two selling price will be 120–117 = Rs 3

Original cost price = 100/3 x 15

= RS 500 and new cost price would be 90/3x15= RS 450 ans
