Practicing Success
On selling an article for ₹115, the gain is 20% more than the loss incurred on selling it for ₹104. If the article is sold for ₹130.80, then the profit percentage is: |
25 18 30 20 |
20 |
\(\frac{P}{L}\) = \(\frac{6}{5}\) In both cases Cost price will be same. ⇒ S.P1 - P = S.P2 + L ⇒ 115 - 6n = 104 + 5n ⇒ 6n + 5n = 115 - 104 ⇒ 11n = 11 ⇒ n = 1 ⇒ 115 - 6 = 109 = C.P. New SP of the article = Rs. 130.80 P% = \(\frac{(130 – 109) × 100}{109}\) = 20% |
