pradeep kumar  (13 years ago)

increase in loss=20%
consider loss is x initially, so final loss will increase by .2x which is equal to 20.
.2x=20
x=100,
so total cost =selling price +loss=400+100=500.
so ans is 500.

when SP=400-> loss=x
when SP=380-> lose=x+.2x
-------------------------
20= .2x=>x=100
total loss=100
initial cost=400+loss=>400+100=500

Cost price is 100. Loss is -300% when SP=400 and -280% when SP=380. Actually, there is profit and profit decreases, rather than loss increases, though logically, they are equivalent.
