Question

A fruit seller purchased apples for ₹150 and sold them at the loss of 15%. find the selling price of the apples.​

Answer 1

Answer:

195 will be the selling price of the apples

Answer 2

Given data :

• Cost price of apples ( C.P ) = ₹ 150
• Loss % = 15 %

To find : Selling price of apples ( S.P )

Solution :

Now, we use formula of Loss % to find loss.

→ Loss % = { Loss * 100 }/ C.P

→ 15 = { Loss * 100 }/ 150

→ 15 * 150 = Loss * 100

→ 2250 = Loss * 100 i.e.

→ Loss = 2250/100

→ Loss = ₹ 22.50

Now to find selling price we use formula of loss.

→ Loss = C.P - S.P

→ 22.50 = 150 - S.P i.e.

→ - S.P = 22.50 - 150

→ - S.P = - 127.5

{ minus ( - ) sign cancel from both side }

→ S.P = ₹ 127.5

Answer : Hence, the selling price of the apples is ₹ 127.5
