Question

By selling an article for rs 660 pradeep loses 60 rs at what price he must sell the article to gain 15%

Answer 1

828 rs

Step- -step explanation:

pradeep sold the item for 60 rs less than the cost price

The cost price = amount lost + amount it was sold

60 + 660 = 720 rs

To determine the selling price that would yield a gain of 15%,

1. calculate 15% of 720.
2. Add the amount derived in the above step to 720

15/100 x 720 = 108

108 + 720 = 828 rs
