    Question

    On selling a jute bag for ₹ 48, Ashmitha incurs a loss of 20%. In order to make a profit of 20% what should be the selling price of the jute bag?

    A.

    ₹ 56

    B.

    ₹ 52

    C.

    ₹ 72

    D.

    ₹ 68

    Correct option is C

    Given:

    - Selling price at 20% loss = ₹ 48
    - Loss % = 20%
    - Desired profit % = 20%

    Solution:

    SP = ₹ 48, Loss = 20%
    CP =  48(120100)=480.8=60\frac{48 }{ (1 - \frac{20}{100}) }= \frac{48 }{ 0.8} = 60​​
    Calculate new SP for 20% profit:
    SP=60×(1+20100)=60×1.2=72SP = 60 × (1 + \frac{20}{100}) = 60 × 1.2 = 72​​
    The selling price to make a 20% profit should be ₹ 72.
