Question

The percentage profit earner 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?​



Please answer me​

Answer 1

Let C.P be Rs. x

Then, {(1920 – x )/x } × 100 = {(x – 1280)/x } × 100

⇒ 1920 – x = x – 1280

⇒ 2x = 3200

⇒ x = 1600

∴ Required S.P. = 125% of Rs. 1600 = (125/100) × 1600 = Rs. 2000
