Question

Reema will lose 15%, if he sells a cow for ₹10200. For how much should he sell it to gain 15 %?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s assume X as the Price of the cow.

To make the loss of 15%, she should sell the cow at the price, 15% lesser than it’s original price.

so price she sold the cow is ((100–15)/100)*X = 10200

==> 85/100*X=10200

Therefore,

X=10200*100/85= Rs. 12000/-( actual price)

Now,

To make 15% profit on its original price she should sell the cow at a 15% higher rate

therefore,

S.P= 12000*115/100

==>Rs. 13800/- (ANS)(price at which he will get 15% profit)
