​

Answer 1

Answer:

16800

Step-by-step explanation:

14,880 x 100/93 (bcz of -7% loss) = 16000

then 16000 x 105/100 (bcz of 5% profit) = 16800

Answer 2

Answer:

16800

Step-by-step explanation:

Sp of the necklace=14,880

Loss%=7%

CP=100/100-Loss% ×CP

CP=100/100-7×14880

=100/93×14880=160×100=16000

Darpan should sell her necklace to get profit of 5%

=5% of 16000 = 5/100 × 16000= 800

= 16000 + 800=16800

So, Darpan should sell her necklace at SP 16800.
