By selling article at Rs. 100, a shopkeeper loses 25%, Find the gain and loss if it should be sold for Rs. 2001). profit of 25%2). loss of 25%3). loss of 50%4). profit of 50%

Answer»

Let the CP of article be Rs X

Loss% = 25%

SP of article = Rs 100

Therefore, Loss = x – 100

25 = ((x – 100)/x × 100%

⇒ x – 100 = x/4

⇒ x = 400/3

Now, CP of article = Rs 400/3

Now, the selling PRICE is Rs. 200

therefore, profit is obtained and let profit% be y

$(y\% \; = \;\frac{{\left( {200\;-\frac{{400}}{3}} \right)}}{{\frac{{400}}{3}}} \TIMES 100\%= 50)$
