Price at which the book will be sold to gain 15%
= Let the price be x
=>15x÷100=180

Answer 2

Given :

The printed price of a book is rs. 240

To Find :

It is available to the retailer at 25% discount .for how much should the retailer sell to gain 15%

Solution:

Cost price of book = Rs.240

Gain% = 15%

Selling price of book = CP+Profit = 240+0.15(240)=276

Discount% = 25%

Cost including discount = 276-0.25(276)= 207

Hence the retailer should sell for Rs.207
