Question 54

Sudha sold an article to Renu for ₹576 at a loss of 20%. Renu spent a sum of ₹224 on its transportation and sold it to Raghu at a price which would have given Sudha profit of 24%. The percentage of gain for Renu is:

Solution

Cost price for Sudha = $$\frac{576}{80} \times$$ 100 = 720

Cost price for Renu = 576

Final cost price for Renu = 576 + 224 = 800

Selling price for Renu = 24% profit of sudha

= 720 $$ \times \frac{124}{100}$$ = 892.8

Profit for Renu = 892.8 -800 = 92.8

The percentage of gain for Renu = $$\frac{92.8}{800} \times$$ 100 = 11.6%
