On selling an article for ₹115, the gain is 20% more than the loss incurred on selling it for ₹104. If the article is sold for ₹130.80, then the profit percentage is:
The selling price of article = Rs 115
If selling price would be = Rs 104
then gain = 20 % max
let the Cost price of article Rs $$x$$
$$\Rightarrow\dfrac{115-x}{1} = \dfrac{120}{100} \times \dfrac {x-104}{1} $$
$$\Rightarrow\dfrac{115-x}{1} = \dfrac{6}{5}\times \dfrac{x-104}{1}$$
$$\Rightarrow (115-x) \times 5 = 6\times (x-104)$$
$$\Rightarrow 575-5x = 6x-624 $$
$$\Rightarrow 11x =1119 $$
$$\Rightarrow x = 109 $$
If selling price would be = 130.80
profit = 130.80-109 = 21.80
then profit % = $$\dfrac{21.80} {109} \times 100 $$
= 20 % Ans
