A dealer sells a set of furniture for Rs.900,which is 80% more than the price he paid for it.At what price he must sell the same set to make 120% profit on the cost price?

• Let CP=rs x
  and x + 80% of x = SP= 900
  on solving , we get x=Rs500 =CP
  
  Now to make P% of 120
  let SP= y and
  apply
  P%= (SP-CP)/CP *100
  120=(y-500)/500 *100
  on solving y=1100
  
  So SP=Rs.1100 Answer

• cost price be x
  x=900*(100/180)=>500
  to make 120% profit, ((100+120)/100)*500=>1100 i.e(220/100)*500=>1100

• cost of furniture=900/(1+.8)]
  =500
  so selling price= 500*(120/100)=600
