Question 69

The loss in selling an article for Rs. 1235 was 5%. At what price should it be sold to get a profit of 10%?

Solution

Let cost price = X

Loss = 5% of X

= 0.05X

selling price = cp - loss

= X - 0.95X

= 0.95 X

Given that S.P = Rs 1235

so,

1235 = 0.95X

X = Rs 1300

given 10% profit

so, 10% of 1300 =130

s.p = cp + profit = 1300 - 130 = Rs 1430
