Respuesta :

Answer:

Please see the answer below:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Loss 5%

Cost = Rs.320

Loss % = 5% = 0.05

Sale Price = Rs.320 - (Rs.320 x 0.05) = Rs.320 - Rs.16 = Rs.304

2. Profit 20%

Cost = Rs.320

Profit % = 20% = 0.20

Sale Price = Rs.320 + (Rs.320 x 0.2) = Rs.320 + Rs.64 = Rs.384

3. Sold for Rs.360

Cost = Rs.320

Sale Price = Rs.360

Gain % = (Rs.360 - Rs.320) / Rs.320 = Rs.40 / Rs.320 = 0.125

or

Gain % = 12.5%

Answer:

If sold at a loss of 5%, the selling price would be Rupee 304

If sold at a Profit of 20% the selling price would be Rupee 384

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of shoes                                  =   Rupees 320

Loss incurred  (5% x 320)               =   Rupees   16

Price of shoe                                   = (320 - 16)  = 304  

The selling price if sold at a loss of 5% would be Rupees 304

IF SOLD AT A PROFIT OF 20%

Cost of shoes                                  =   Rupees 320

Loss incurred  (20% x 320)               =   Rupees   64

Price of shoe                                   = (320 + 64)  = 384  

The selling price if sold at a loss of 5% would be Rupees 384
