Question
A profit from selling an accessory for Rs. 18,000 is the
same as the loss when it is sold for Rs. 12,000. If the cost price had increased by Rs. 4,000 and it was sold at a loss of 20%, what would have been the selling price?Solution
ATQ, Let the cost price of the accessory be Rs. 'c'. Profit = Loss implies: 18000 - c = c - 12000 Or, 2c = 30000 Or, 'c' = (30000 / 2) = 15000 New cost price = 15000 + 4000 = Rs. 19,000 Required selling price at 20% loss = 0.80 × 19000 = Rs. 15,200
