Question

The profit earned by selling an article for rs 900 is double the loss incured when the same article sold for rs 450 .at what prize should the article be sold to make 25% profit?

Answer 1

let the cost price be x

profit earned=900-x

loss=x-450

according to the given condition

900-x=2(x-450)

900-x=2x-900

3x=1800

x=600

now let the selling price be y

profit=y-600

given that

y-600=25/100(600)

y-600=150

y=750

so the article should be sold at rs 750
