Marks: +1, -0

Pavan sold an item at a loss of

12.5 \%

. If he could have sold it for ₹ 56 more, he would have made a profit of

22.5 \% .

What should be the selling price of the item to make a profit of

25 \% ?

Solution:

\;\text " Given, "\; L=12.5 \%, P=22.5 \%

\;\text " SP is given as, "\; {SP}=\;{ {CP}(100+ {P} \%)}/{100}

\;\text " or "\; \;\; {SP}=\;{ {CP}(100- {L} \%)}/{100}

\;\text " ATQ, "\;

\;{\;\text " CP "\;(100+22.5)}/{100}-\;{\;\text " CP "\;(100-12.5)}/{100}=56

{CP}[\;{122.5-87.5}/{100}]=56

⇒ \;\; {CP} \;\; =\;{56 × 100}/{35}=₹ 160

∴ \;\; {SP} \;\; =\;{160(100+25)}/{100}=\;{160 × 125}/{100}

\;\; =₹ 200
