Question

Seeta sells a dining set to Neeta for * 6,000 and gains 20%. For how much should she
sell it to increase her profit by another 5%?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Seeta sells a dining set to Neeta for rupees 6000 and gains 20%

s.p = 6000

gain %= 20

c.p = s.p *100 /100 +gain

       = 6000 * 100/120

         =  50*100

       =  5000 rs

cost price  = 500 rs

we have to find  for how much should he sell it to increase her profit by another 5%

so now total profit should be 25%

c.p = 5000

profit %  = 25%

s.p = c.p *100 + gain / 100

      = 5000 * 125/100

      =  6250  rs

she must sell at 625o rs

Answer 2

S. p. of dining set =₹6000

gain = 20%

let the c.p =X

20% of 100= 20

s. p = 100+20= 120

If s. p. is ₹120 then c. p. 100

If s. p. is ₹1 then c. p. = 100/120

If s. p is ₹6000 then c. p. =100/120*6000= 5000

5000*5/100=250

6000+250=₹6250
