Question

There is a loss of 4% by selling 12 commodities at Rs.1 .To make 44% profit how many commodities have to be sold at RS.1?​

Answer 1

Answer:

18 commodities

Step-by-step explanation:

let

cp of 12 commodities be 100 unit

loss = 4℅ = 4 unit

sp = 100-4=96 unit

but given that sp = rs. 1×12=12

hence

cp = 12×100/96 = 12.5

to gain 44℅

sp = 144 unit

sp = 144×12.5/100=18

and sp per commodities is given to be rs. 1

hence

number of commodities= 18/1= 18 ans

Answer 2

Answer:

18 commodities

Step-by-step explanation:

let

cp of 12 commodities be 100 unit

loss = 4℅ = 4 unit

sp = 100-4=96 unit

but given that sp = rs. 1×12=12

hence

cp = 12×100/96 = 12.5

to gain 44℅

sp = 144 unit

sp = 144×12.5/100=18

and sp per commodities is given to be rs. 1

hence

number of commodities= 18/1= 18 ans
