-
- cost price= (100/75)*720 = 960
selling price for 25% profit = (25/100)*960 = 1200 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(3)
- cp=720/.75
sp=1.25*cp=1200 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- (SP1) / 100+x = (SP2) / 100+y
(720) / 100-25 = (SP2) /100+25
(720) / 75 = (SP2) / 125
SP2 = (720 * 125) / 75
SP2 = 1200 (Option a) - 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
