By selling a guitar for ₹846, Rakhi loses 6%. For how much should Rima sell it to gain 8%?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. ₹972

 

CP = SP × 100/(100 - Loss %)

CP = 846 × 100/94 =  900

SP = CP × (100 + profit %)/100

SP = 900 × 108/100 = Rs 972
