Question

On selling computers for Rs.$24480$, a dealer loses $4$%. For how much should he sell it to gain $4$%?

Answer 1

Let original price be $x.$

In losing $4$%

$S.P=x-\frac{4}{100}x$

$24,480=x-\frac{x}{25}$

$24,480=\frac{25x-x}{25}$

$24,480=\frac{24x}{25}$

$x=\frac{24,480\times 25}{24}$

$x=25,500$

To gain $4$%

$S.P=x+\frac{4}{100}.x$

$S.P=x+\frac{x}{25}$

$S.P=\frac{26.x}{25}$

$S.P=\frac{25,500\times 26}{25}$

$S.P=26,520$
