an item was sold for 810 and gave 10% loss.
\n" ); document.write( "say the cost price is 100
\n" ); document.write( "then at 10% loss the selling price is 100-10=90
\n" ); document.write( "so at selling price 90 the cost price is 100
\n" ); document.write( "now at selling price 810 the cost price is 100*810/90=900
\n" ); document.write( "so the cost price is 900
\n" ); document.write( "now the profit is 20%
\n" ); document.write( "at the cost price is 100 selling price 100+20=120
\n" ); document.write( "now at cost price is 900 selling price 120*900/100=1080
\n" ); document.write( "at 1080 rs should be sold to give profit of 20% \n" ); document.write( "
