Answer 1

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Vimla made 5 dolls costing rs.80 each. one she sold at a loss of 5%. at what price sh should she sell the remaining dolls so as to make an overall profit of 15%. what is the gain percent in each of these dolls

The cost of 1 doll is Rs 80

So for 5 dolls is 80 x 5 = Rs 400

Overall profit is 15%

So 15/100 x 400 = Rs 60

So 400 + 60 = Rs 460

So for Rs 460 loss is 5%

So 5/100 x 80 = Rs 4

So 80 - 4 = Rs 76

So she sold one doll for Rs 76

460 - 76 = Rs 384

So 4 dolls she should sell at Rs 384

So one doll will cost 384 / 4 = Rs 96

So for Rs 80 she will get Rs 16 as profit

For 100 she will get 100 x 16 / 80 = Rs 20%

Gain percent is 20%
