selling price of the book.
​
​

Answer 1

number number of copies =200

cost of each copy=40

(sp-sp/100)×100=5

40-sp/40×100=5

40×20-20sp=40

800=40=sp

760=20sp

sp=760/20=38

sp=200×38

=7600

Answer 2

Answer:

:

Given : -

• No. of copies sold = 200

• Loss = 5%

• C.P of each copy = Rs.40

Solution : -

Total C.P = No. of copies x C.P of each copy

               =  R.s(200 x 40)

= R.s 8000

➻ S.P = R.s(95/100 x 8000)

➻ S.P = 95 × 80

➻ S.P = 7600 R.s

the selling price of the book

Sp / number of copy

➻ = 7600 / 200

➻ = 38 R.s
