Answer» Question : Ram will lose 25% if he SELLS a box for Rs. 1500 . For how much should he sell it to gain 20% ? Solution : LET US assume that the cost price of the box is Rs. X Now , if he sells this for 1500 , he loses 25% . So, 75% of the cost price of the box is equal to 1500 > 75% of x = 1500 > 75/100 x = 1500> x/100 = 20 > x = Rs. 2000 Now , he needs to sell this at a price where he will gain 20% New SP : > 120% of original CP > 120% of 2000 > 120/100 × 2000 > 120 × 20 > 2400 . Thus , Ram should sell the box at Rs. 2400 to get 20% profit. This is the required answer. ___________________________________________ |
