Question

a bookseller sold 200 copies of a book at a loss of 5%.if each copy costs him Rs.200, find the selling price of the book

Answer 1

Selling price of each copy is rs 190

Answer 2

No. of copies sold = 200

Loss = 5%

C.P of each copy = Rs.200

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

               =  R.s(200 x 200)

=R.s 40000

S.P = R.s(95/100 x 40000)

= R.s 38,000 [ Answer ]
