Question 66
If the rice is sold at Rs 48 per kg, then there would be a 20% loss. To earn a profit of 20% what should be the price of rice (per kg)
Solution
Selling price = Rs. 48
Loss % = 20%
=> Cost price = $$\frac{48}{(100-20)}\times100$$
= $$\frac{480}{8}=Rs.$$ $$60$$
Now, to earn 20% profit, => Selling price = $$60+(\frac{20}{100}\times60)$$
= $$60+12=Rs.$$ $$72$$
=> Ans - (A)
