AYAN PAUL   6 years AGO

First Selling price = Rs. 17600 which occurs loss of 12%
so the cost price of the product will be = (100/88)*17600 = 20000
now if we have to make profit of 12.5% then the selling price will be
(20000*112.50)/100 = Rs. 22500

Mukund Manohar   6 years AGO

When the item is sold for Rs 17,600,loss is 12%
So cost price = 17,600 * 100/88 = 20,000
To gain 12.50% selling price = 112.50*20,000/100 = Rs 22500

C.P = S.P*100/(100-Loss%)
=17600*100/(100-12)=17600*100/88=Rs.20000.
Profit =12.5%
S.P= C.P*(100+profit%)/100
=20000*(100+12.5)/100
=20000*225/200= Rs.22500.

S.P=17600
Loss=12%, So 88%=17600

Varun   6 years AGO

If x = Cost of item, then
x = 17600 + 12% of x
=> x = 20000

Now, to get 12.5% of profit :
SP = 20000 + 12.5% of 20000
= 22500

Ans:22500
Given,
S.P=17,600,Loss%=12
therefore,C.P=17,600/0.88=20000
Now ,In order to have a gain of 12.5%
S.P=12.50% of C.P
=1.1250*20000=22500.

Vidya   6 years AGO

As loss % is (loss/cp)*100,and loss equals cp-sp,we get cp =20000 on solving.
also gain% =(gain/cp)*100 and gain=sp-cp.,we get sp equals 22500 on solving..

loss%=cp-sp/cp *100..
by this formula we can find cost price of an item..
gain%=sp-cp/cp *100
by using the given gain% we can find the sold price of an item to get 12.50% gain

17600= (100-12)= 88%
