When a plot is sold for Rs. 18,700, the owner loses 15%. At what price must that plot be sold in order to gain 15%?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
85 : 18700 = 115 : x
 x = |
 |
18700 x 115 |  |
= 25300. |
| 85 |
Hence, S.P. = Rs. 25,300.

Plot sale = Rs 18700.
Let the C.P be=x.
Loss=C.P-S.P.
0. 15x=x-18700.
X=22000 i.e. C.P of plot = Rs 22000.
To gain 15% = 15%0f 22000 = Rs 3300.
So S.P = C.P+profit.
22000+3300= Rs 25300 answer.

Formula of C.P=(100*S.P)/(100-loss%).
Then C.P=100*18700/100-15.
=100*18700/85.
=22000Rs.
Then S.P= 15/100*22000.
=25300Rs.
That's the answer. clear it.

S.P=18700
Loss=15%
Means
Assume C.P=100%
S.P= C.P-loss
i.e 18700= 100%-15%
18700=85%
We need 115% means 15% profit
18700=85%
?= 115%
i.e = 25300
Loss=15%
Means
Assume C.P=100%
S.P= C.P-loss
i.e 18700= 100%-15%
18700=85%
We need 115% means 15% profit
18700=85%
?= 115%
i.e = 25300

CP=X
X-X*15/100=18700
>X=22000.
22000+22000*15/10
=25300.
X-X*15/100=18700
>X=22000.
22000+22000*15/10
=25300.

Sold = 18700.00.
Loss% = 15%.
So CP = 100/100-%loss*SP (formula).
100/100-15%*18700.
100/85%*18700.
100*100/85*18700.
10000/85*18700 = 22000.
22000*15%.
22000*15/100 = 3300.
22000+3300 = 25300.
Loss% = 15%.
So CP = 100/100-%loss*SP (formula).
100/100-15%*18700.
100/85%*18700.
100*100/85*18700.
10000/85*18700 = 22000.
22000*15%.
22000*15/100 = 3300.
22000+3300 = 25300.

Hi guys,
I have sum confusion, Please help me out.
If we solve this ques by the formula which is given in important formula then:
C.P = {100/(100-15)}*18700 = 22000.
So,
S.P = {(100+15)/100}*22000 = 335.
So why the answer is coming different.

It's very easy method.
85 - 18700.
115 - ?
115*18700/85 = 25300.
85 - 18700.
115 - ?
115*18700/85 = 25300.

SP of a plot = 18,700.
Loss = 15 %.
CP of a plot = (100/100-loss) * CP.
= (100/85) * 18700 = 22,000.
Gain = 15 %.
SP = 115% of CP.
= (115/100)* 22000.
= 25,300.
Loss = 15 %.
CP of a plot = (100/100-loss) * CP.
= (100/85) * 18700 = 22,000.
Gain = 15 %.
SP = 115% of CP.
= (115/100)* 22000.
= 25,300.

18700 = 85% loss C.P.
So now,
18700/85%= 220.
220 = 1%.
220*115% = 25300.
So now,
18700/85%= 220.
220 = 1%.
220*115% = 25300.

Let C.P be x.
S.P of plot =18700.
Loss =15%= 85/100.
S.P= (100-LOSS%)/100*C.P.
18700=0.85*C.P.
C.P= 22000.
GAIN = 15% = 115/100.
C.P = 22000.
S.P = ?
S.P = (115/100)*22000 = 25300.
S.P of plot =18700.
Loss =15%= 85/100.
S.P= (100-LOSS%)/100*C.P.
18700=0.85*C.P.
C.P= 22000.
GAIN = 15% = 115/100.
C.P = 22000.
S.P = ?
S.P = (115/100)*22000 = 25300.
