A Shopkeeper purchased some books from a publication worth ₹ 750. Because of some reasons, he had to sell two-fifth part of the book at a loss of 15%. On which gain he should sell his rest of the books, so that he gets neither nor loss

Question

Accepted Answer

Here, A = 2/5, R = 15%
According to the formula
Gain % = AR/(1 - A)%
= [(2/5) x 15]/[1 - (2/5)]%
= (6 x 5)/3%
= 10%
