Question
A jeweler sells a necklace for Rs. 4000 with a 25% profit and a bracelet for Rs. 1200 with a 20% profit. If the necklace is sold for Rs. 3500, what is the minimum price at which he must sell the bracelet to not incur a loss?
Calculation for the bracelet : 
If the necklace is sold for Rs.3500, the loss = 3200−3500=−300. Total cost = 3200+1000 = 4200. To avoid any loss = 3500+p = 4200 ⇒ p = 700 He must sell the bracelet for at least Rs.700 to avoid any loss.More Profit and loss Questions
