Q. 19 to sell an object in Rupe'es 170, a shopke'eper has a loss of 15%. How many rupe'es sho'uld it sell to that object accordingly to get her 20% gain?

Answer 1

Solutions :-


Given :

Selling price = Rs 170
Loss = 15%


Find the cost price :-

C.P = (S.P × 100)/(100 - loss)
= (170 × 100)/(100 - 15)
= 17000/85
= 200


Find the Selling price to get a gain of 20% :-

S.P = C.P + gain of C.P
= 200 + 20% of 200
= 200 + 0.2 × 200
= 200 + 40
= 240


Hence,
Selling price of object = Rs 240

Answer 2

Solutions :-


We have

Selling price of object = Rs 170
Loss percent = 15%


Cost Price of object = (S.P × 100)/(100 - loss)
= Rs (170 × 100)/(100 - 15)
= Rs 17000/85
= Rs 200


To get 20% gain find selling price.

Selling price = C.P + gain of C.P
= Rs 200 + 20% of 200
= Rs 200 + 0.2 × 200
= Rs 200 + 40
= Rs 240


Answer : Selling price of object to get 20% gain = Rs 240
