Question

Seem sold a mobile for rs my 1950 at 25% loss . IN how much price she should have sold the mobile to get a profit of 30%

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 2231

Step-by-step explanation:

selling price of mobile = 1950

loss % = 25

cp = selling price + loss%

let the cost price of mobile be x

$x = 1950 + ( \frac{10}{100} \times x) \\ x = 1950 + \frac{10x}{100} \\ 1950 = x - \frac{10x}{100} \\ 1950 = \frac{100x - 10x}{100} \\ 1950 \times 100 = 90x \\ x = \frac{1950 \times 100}{90} \\ x = 21.66 \times 100 \\ x = 2166$

cost price of mobile is 2166

to get 30% profit selling price should be

sp = cp + 30% of cp

$= 2166 + ( \frac{30}{100} \times 2166) \\ = 2166 + (3 \times 21.66) \\ = 2166 + 65 \\ = 2231$

she should sell the mobile for Rs. 2231 to get 30% of profit

hope you get your answer
