Question 40

A shopkeeper sold an article for Rs.1,380 at a loss of 8%. At what price should it be sold to gaina profit of 8% ?

Solution

Let cost price of the article = Rs. $$100x$$

Loss % = 8%

=> Selling price = $$\frac{92}{100} \times 100x = 1380$$

=> $$x = \frac{1380}{92} = 15$$

=> C.P. = $$100 \times 15$$ = Rs. $$1,500$$

Profit % = 8%

$$\therefore$$ Selling price = $$\frac{108}{100} \times 1500$$

= $$108 \times 15$$ = Rs. $$1,620$$
