Profit and Loss

Question:

Kishore had a loss of 20% on selling an article for ₹7,160. At what price should he have sold the item to make a profit of 30%?

Options:

₹11,635

₹12,007

₹10,678

₹8,988

Correct Answer:

₹11,635

Explanation:

Selling price of the article = 7,160

Loss% = 20%

Then the CP = 7,160 × \(\frac{100}{80}\) = 8950

Required profit = 30%

Then the selling price of the article = 130% of 8950

SP = 8950 × \(\frac{130}{100}\) = ₹11,635
