Question

when an article is sold for rupees 665 there is a loss of 5% to make a profit of 12% the selling price of the article should be
(a) 812
(b) 800
(c) 790
(d) 784​

Answer 1

The correct option would be (d) 784​

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Selling price of the article = 665 rupees,

Loss% = 5,

If x be the cost price,

Then, Cost price - loss = Selling price

x - 5% of x = 665

x - 0.05x = 665

0.95x = 665

$\implies x = \frac{665}{0.95}=700$

Thus, Cost price of the article = 700 rupees,

If profit = 12%,

Selling price = 700 + 12% of 700

= 700 + 0.12 × 700

= 700 +  84

= 784

Hence, the article should be sold on 784 rupees for getting 12% of profit.
