Answer 1

Answer:

2300

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of the house =2500

Loss=8%

8% of 2500=2500*8/100

=200

He sell it for=2500-200=2300

Answer 2

➤ Given :-

Cost price of the house :- ₹ 2500

Loss percentage :- 8%

➤ To Find :-

Selling price of the house.............

➤ Solution :-

First, we should find the value of loss percentage in the numerical format by finding 8% of ₹ 2500.......

Loss :-

$\tt \longrightarrow 8 \bf\% \sf \: \: of \tt \: \: 2500$

${\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{8}{100} \times 2500}$

${\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{8}{ \cancel{100}} \times \cancel{2500} = \boxed{\tt 8 \times 25}}$

${\tt \longrightarrow 8 \times 25 = \boxed{\tt 200}}$

Now,

Selling price :-

$\tt \longrightarrow 2500 - 200$

$\sf \longrightarrow rs \tt \: \: 2300$

$\Huge\therefore$₹2300 (Option-3) is the correct answer.
