Question

The percentage profit earned by selling an article for Rs. 1920 is equal to the percentage loss incurred by selling the same article for Rs. 1280. At what price should the article be sold to make 25% profit?

Answer 1

Let C.P. be Rs. x.

Then,1920 - xx 100 =x - 1280x 100xx

 1920 - x = x - 1280

 2x = 3200

 x = 1600

 Required S.P. = 125% of Rs. 1600 = Rs.125 / 100 x 1600= Rs 2000
Hope this helped you........:)
