Yayati sold an item at a loss of 13%. If he had sold it for ₹ 49 more, he would have made a profit of 22%. Whatshouldbe the selling price of the item to gain a profit of 30%?
Let take cost price=x
$$SP = [\frac{(100 - Loss \%)}{ 100}]\times(CP)$$
$$SP = [\frac{(100 - 13 )}{ 100}]\times(CP)$$
$$SP = [\frac{87}{ 100}]\times(CP)$$
$$SP =.87\times(CP)$$
Now if he sell it for 49 more
$$SP =.87\times(CP)+49$$ ..........eq 1
Profit will 22%
$$SP = [\frac{(100 + Gain\%)}{ 100}] \times CP$$
$$SP = [\frac{(100 + 22)}{ 100}] \times CP$$
$$SP =1.22 \times CP$$ ............ eq 2
SP in both equation same
eq 1=eq2
$$.87\times(CP)+49=1.22 \times CP$$
$$49=1.22 \times CP-.87\times(CP)$$
$$49=.35\times(CP)$$
$$\frac{49}{.35}=CP$$
$$CP=140$$
profit=30%
$$SP = [\frac{(100 + Gain\%)}{ 100}] \times CP$$
$$SP = [\frac{(100 + 30)}{ 100}] \times140$$
$$SP = [\frac{(130)}{ 100}] \times140$$
$$SP = 182$$
