On selling 96 articles for ₹144 a person bears a loss of 35%. How many articles should he sell for ₹108 to earn a profit of 17%?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
CP = \(\frac{144}{96}\) × \(\frac{100}{65}\)
SP = \(\frac{144}{96}\) × \(\frac{100}{65}\) × \(\frac{117}{100}\)
= \(\frac{108}{40}\)
