Answer 2

Answer:

3168.75 rupees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The selling price of the article = 1950 rupees,

Loss =20%,

$loss\% = \frac{CP-SP}{CP}\times 100$

$20=\frac{CP-1950}{CP}\times 100$

$0.20CP = CP - 1950$

$1950 = 0.80CP$

$\implies CP = \frac{1950}{0.8}=2437.5$

Thus, the cost price = 2437.5 rupees,

Now if profit = 30%,

$Profit\% = \frac{SP-CP}{CP}\times 100$

$30=\frac{SP-2437.5}{2437.5}\times 100$

$0.30\times 2437.5 = SP - 2437.5$

$731.25 + 2437.5= SP$

$\implies SP = 3168.75$

Hence, the selling price would be 3168.75 rupees.
