Question

An article was sold for Rs 30

at a loss of 24%, what would
have been sale price, had it
been sold at 17% loss.​

Answer 1

Rs. 32.77

Explanation:

----------

Finding cost price:

• Sale price = cost - loss

If cost = x:

• x - 24% = 30
• 0.76x = 30
• x = 30/0.76
• x ≈ 39.48

SP at a loss of 17%:

• 39.48 - 17% = 39.48*0.83 ≈ 32.77
