Since plot is sold at 18,700 which is at 15% loss. Therefore, 18700 is 85% (100-15) of original cost. Therefore, original cost is 18700/85% = 22,000. For profit of 15% over cost, we will have to sell it at = Rs. 25,300

sellingprice=((100-loss%)/100)*costprice; 18700=((100-15)/100)*costprice; costprice=22,000. sellingprice=((100+gain%)/100)*costprice; sellingprice=((100+15)/100)*22000; =25,300 ans

The plot is sold at 15% loss. So 18,700 is 85% of the original price Therefore, The original price is (18,700÷85)×100 = 22000 15% gain is 3,300. So the answer is 22,000+3,300 = 25,300

Cost Price = ₹22,000 Selling Price for 15% gain = ₹25,300 So basically, if you sold it for ₹18,700, you cried a little. To make a 15% gain, sell it for ₹25,300 and laugh like a villain in a Bollywood movie: "Mwahaha… profit aa gaya!"

Evaluate the product without multiplying directly: 103 x 107?
103 x 107 = (100 + 3)(100 + 7) We know that (x + a)(x + b) = x^2 + (a + b)x + ab Therefore, 103 x 107 = 100^2 + (3 + 7) x 100 + 3 x 7 = 10000 + 1000 + 21 = 11021
