​

Answer 1

Answer:

20 % profit percent is made by selling an article at a certain price if by selling at 3/4 0f that price result in a loss of 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Cost Price = Rs.100

%Loss= 10%

Selling price = Cost price - loss

                    = Rs. 100 - 10      (here C.P = RS.100 ,so, loss=% loss)

                    = RS. 90

This S.P represent 3/4 of original C.P

⇒ Original S.P = 90× ( 4/3)

                        = RS.120

Original Profit = Original S.P - C.P= RS. 120 - 100= Rs.20

% Profit = (profit /C.P ) × 100

              = (20 / 100 )× 100=20%
