Question 52

By selling an article for ₹144, a shopkeeper loses 28%. What should be the selling price for bringing down the loss to 14%?

Solution

S.P = Rs 144

Loss = 28%

Let C.P be Rs x

So, $$x\times\frac{72}{100}=144$$

      $$x=Rs  200$$

Now required loss 14% and C.P = Rs 200

S.P= $$200-200\times\frac{14}{100}=Rs  172$$
