Answer» Initial selling price is 18000 and loss % is 20%. so, selling price = 80% of C.p => C.P = sp/0.8 = 18000/0.8 = 22500. now actual cost price per show is. 22500/20 = 1125 rs. again for selling price to be 16200. and having profit of 20%. the total cost price should be (100+20) % C.P = 16200 => CP = 16200/1.2 =13500 so no. of shows = 13500/1125 =12 pair of shoes.

Answer»

Initial selling price is 18000 and loss % is 20%.

so, selling price = 80% of C.p => C.P = sp/0.8 = 18000/0.8 = 22500.

now actual cost price per show is. 22500/20 = 1125 rs.

again for selling price to be 16200. and having profit of 20%.

the total cost price should be (100+20) % C.P = 16200 => CP = 16200/1.2 =13500

so no. of shows = 13500/1125 =12 pair of shoes.
