Ritu sold an article at a loss of 12%. Had she sold it for ₹55.80 more, she would have gained 13%. To gain 10%, she must sell it for ₹:
Let cost price of article = Rs. $$100x$$
Selling price after 12% loss = $$\frac{88}{100}\times100x=Rs.$$ $$88x$$
According to ques,
=> $$88x+55.80=\frac{113}{100}\times100x$$
=> $$113x-88x=55.80$$
=> $$x=\frac{55.80}{25}=2.232$$
$$\therefore$$ Cost price = $$100\times2.232=Rs.$$ $$223.2$$
Thus, selling price after 10% profit = $$\frac{110}{100}\times223.2=Rs.$$ $$245.52$$
