Question

reena will loss 15 % , if she sells a cow for rs. 10200 .for how much should she sell it to gain 15 % = profit and loss class=8​

Answer 1

Answer:

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

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

so price he sold the cow is ((100–15)/100)*X = 136

==> 85/100*X=136

Therefore,

X=136*100/85= Rs. 160/-( actual price)

Now,

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

therefore,

S.P= 160*115/100

==>Rs. 184/- (ANS)(price at which he will get 15% profit)
