Question

sp=1500 loss=10% if they wanted 5% of gain how should be the sp​

Answer 1

Let Cost Price = 100 units

Loss = 10 %

so

SP = 100 - 10% of 100 = 100 - 10 = 90 units

So according to our assumption SP is 90 units

But actual SP is 1500.

so they both are equal

90 units = 1500

1 unit = 1500/90

100 unit i.e CP = (1500/90 )*100 = 5000/3

so we need to sell it at a profit of 5 %

so

SP At 5% profit = (5000/3)* 105/100 = 1750
