Question

By selling a bouquet for Rs 322,a florist has a gain of $15$%.At what price should he sell it to gain $25$%?

Answer 1

Given,

$SP=322$

$Gain=15$%

Let CP be x.

The.n,$Gain$%$=\frac{SP-CP}{CP}$$\times 100$

$=>15=\frac{322-x}{x}$$\times 100$

$=>x=280$

Now,

Gain%=25

using same formulae as above,

$=>25=\frac{SP-280}{280}$$\times 100$

$=>SP=350$
