Question

The profit earned by selling an article at 1200 is equal to the loss incurred when the same is sold for 800. What should be the SP to earn 25% profit

Answer 1

as per que

profit is equal to loss

x+800=1200-x

so,x=200

as x+800(by putting value of x)

base price =1000

in order to get 25% profit

1000*125÷100

=1250
