Question

By selling an air cooler for ₹6800, Mahesh lost 15%. For what price should he sell it to get a

profit of 10 % ?

Answer 1

What the guy said above is correct

Answer 2

he should sell it for ₹8800 to make a profit of 10%

Explanation:

if he lost 15% despite selling at a price of ₹6800

that means he sold it for 100%-15%=85%

85% - ₹6800

1% - ₹80

to make a profit of about 10% means 100%+10 which is 110%

110% --> 110 * ₹80

--> ₹8800
