Question

ramesh sold a phone at loss of 5% had he sold it for rs 200 more he would gave gained 15% to gain 25% he would sell it for​

Answer 1

Let the cost price (C.P.) of the phone be Rs. x.

Selling price (S.P.) of the phone = x – (5% of x) = x – 0.05x = 0.95x  (? S.P. = C.P. – Loss)

If S.P. is Rs. 500 more: -

Gain% = 45%

⇒ Gain = 45% of x = 0.45x

S.P. of the phone = 0.95x + 500

⇒ x + 0.45x = 0.95x + 500 (? S.P. = C.P. + Gain)

⇒ 0.5x = 500

⇒ x = Rs. 1000

If gain is 25%: -

Cost price (C.P.) of the phone be Rs. 1000

⇒ S.P. of the phone = (1000 + 25% of 1000) = 1000 + 250 = Rs. 1250

∴ To gain 25%, he should sell for Rs. 1250.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

- 5% = 19/20 +15% = 23/20

the difference = 23-19

= 4

4 = 200

1 = 50

23 = 50×23 = 1150
