A businesswoman sells a bag for $52.32, thereby making a profit of 9% on the cost of her. calculate the selling price the businesswoman should ask in order to make 20% profit

$57.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A businesswoman sells a bag for $52.32.

Let cuurent selling price : SP = $52.32

As they are making 9% profit now.

That means SP= Cp +0.09 CP , where Cp is the cost price of bag.

i..e

i..e Cost price of bag = 48

Selling price to gain 20% profit = Cp+0.20CP

= CP(1+0.20)

Hence, the  selling price the businesswoman should ask in order to make 20% profit = $57.6

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:

5
