A man sold an article for INR 6800/- and incurred a loss. Had he sold the article for INR 7850, his gain would have been equal to half of the amount of loss that he incurred. At what price should he sell the article to have 20% profit
Let cost price of an article = INR x
According to question,
(x-6800)= 2(7850-x)
x-6800=15700-2x
3x=22500
x=INR 7500/-
∴ Required price of an article
= 7500× 120/100= INR 9000/-
Directions (next five questions) : What will comes in place of question mark (?) in the given questions :
?%of 1239.96+59.87%of 449.95=579.05
3214.99+285.02+600.02-4.01=?
19.99×15.98+224.98+125.02=?
√197×6.99+626.96=?
421 ÷35×299.97÷25.05= ?2
