Question

there is 20 % loss of an article is sold at rs 96. at what price it should be sold to make a profit of rs 20​

Answer 1

Answer:

When I sold the article in Rs. 96/- then, there is a loss of 20%. So the Article value should be 96+ 24 (if basic price is Rs. 100/- and sold in Rs. 80/- then if sold price is 96 then basic price ? = 100x96/80=120).

Now If will have to get 20% profit on basic price then 120+24=144 (if basic price is Rs. 100 and sold in Rs.120(100+20% profit then basic price is Rs.120/- then sold price is Rs. 144/-)

Hope it helps you!!!!!?

Answer 2

Answer:

140

Step-by-step explanation:

the article is sold at a loss of 20%

therefore rs 96 is only 80% of cost price

cost price =9600/80 =120

to sell at a profit of rs 20

selling price =120 +20 =140
