ram bought goods worth rs 36000 and sold 1/3 of it at loss of 20% and 2/5 of it at a gain of 25%.at what price ram must sell the remaining goods so as to make an overall profit of 10%​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

first 1/3 of 36000 is 12000

it means the goods of 12000 is sell at 20 percent loss

so 20 percent of 12000 is 2400

then 2/5 of 36000 is 14400

so 25 percent sell at profit 3600

so totally good of 12000 and 14400 = 26400 out of 36000 is sold out

so remaining good of 36000-26400=9600

10 percent of 9600 is 960 = 9600+960= 10560

so the good of 9600 is sell at price of 10560 to gain 10 percent profit
