Answer 1

Heya !

Here's your answer !!

_________________________

GIVEN THAT

S.P. = Rs. 27000

Loss % = 10 %


___________________

TO FIND

S.P. to gain 8 %


______________________


SOLUTION

C.P. = S.P. × 100/( 100 - Loss % )

=> 27000 × 100/( 100 - 10 )

=> 27000 × 100/90

=> 300 × 100

=> C.P. = Rs. 30000


________________________


Gain % = 8 %

S.P. = C.P. × ( 100 + Gain % )/100

=> 30000 × ( 100 + 8 )/100

=> 300 × 108

=> S.P. = Rs. 32400

ANS ) The machine should be sold at $\bf{Rs. \: 32400}$ to gain 8%.

Answer 2

_________Heyy Buddy ❤__________

______Here's your Answer ___________

Given;

S.P. = Rs. 27000

Loss % = 10 %

C.P. = S.P. × 100/( 100 - Loss % )

=> 27000 × 100/( 100 - 10 )

=> 27000 × 100/90

=> 300 × 100

=> C.P. = 30000

Now,

Gain % = 8 %

S.P. = C.P. × ( 100 + Gain % )/100

=> 30000 × ( 100 + 8 )/100

=> 300 × 108

=> S.P. = Rs. 32400
