b) loss of 16%​

Answer 1

Answer:

cost price of the cellphone = Rs 2575

therefore, selling price= a) 2575× profit of 12%

=2575×12/100

=309

cost price = 2575+309

=2884

B)..2575×16%loss

= 2575×16/100

=412

cost price= selling price- 412

= 2575-412

=2163

$\green{\underline \bold{Given :}} \\ \tt: \implies Cost \: price \: of \: cell \: phone = 2575 \: rupees \\ \\ \tt: \implies Profit\% = 12\% \\ \\ \tt: \implies Loss\% = 16\% \\ \\ \red{\underline \bold{To \: Find :}} \\ \tt: \implies Selling \: price\:in\:both\:cases = ?$

• According to given question :

$\bold{As \: we \: know \: that(Profit\% = 12\%)} \\ \tt: \implies Selling \: price = Cost \: price + Profit\% \: of \: Cost \: price \\ \\ \tt: \implies Selling \: price = 2575 + 12\% \: of \: 2575 \\ \\ \tt: \implies Selling \: price =2575 + 0.12 \times 2575 \\ \\ \tt: \implies Selling \: price =2575 + 309 \\ \\ \green{\tt: \implies Selling \: price =2884 \: rupees} \\ \\ \bold{As \: we \: know \: that(Loss\% = 16\%)} \\ \tt: \implies Selling \: price = Cost \: price - Loss\% \: of \: Cost \: price \\ \\ \tt: \implies Selling \: price =2575 - 16\% \: of \: 2575 \\ \\ \tt: \implies Selling \: price =2575 -0.16 \times 2575 \\ \\ \tt: \implies Selling \: price =2575 - 412 \\ \\ \green{\tt: \implies Selling \: price =2163 \: rupees}$
