72000
65000
63000
68000

Answer 1

Answer:

SP = Rs.68000

Step-by-step explanation:

CP = Rs. 80000

Loss% = 15%

Loss = 15/100 × 80000

= 12000

SP = CP - loss

= 80000 - 12000

= Rs.6800

Answer 2

➤ Given :-

Cost price (CP) :- ₹ 80000

Loss (L) :- 15%

➤ To Find :-

Selling price of the car..............

➤ Solution :-

Loss :-

$\dashrightarrow \sf 15 \bf\% \: \sf of \: 80000$

$\dashrightarrow \sf \frac{15}{ \cancel{100}} \times \cancel{80000} = 15 \times 800$

$\dashrightarrow \sf12000$

Now,

Selling price :-

$\dashrightarrow \sf 80000 - 12000$

$\dashrightarrow \sf 68000$

$\Huge\therefore$The selling price of the car is ₹ 68000.
