Question

When a plot is sold for Rs. 18,700, the owner loses 15%. At what price must that plot be sold in order to gain 15%?

Answer 1

Let cp be x Sp=cp-loss 18700=x-15/100*x Therefore x=22000 profit =profit percent /100* cp =15/100*22000 =3300 Therefore sp should be 3300+22000=25300

Answer 2

Answer:

Let cool be = x

sp = cp - loss

18700= x- 15/100*x

therefore x=22000

profit= profit.% / 100 * cp

15%100*22000

=3300

so ,

sp= 3300+22000=25300
