Question

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

Answer 1

2000

Step-by-step explanation:

let loss % = Rs x

c.p1 = c.p2

1920 - x = 1280 + x

2x = 640 => x = 320

c.p = 1280 + 320 = 1600

required s.p= 5/4 *1600=Rs 2000
