Question

A man bought a washing machine
for Rs 7500 and spent Rs 500 on it's cartage. Due to some circumstance ,he sold it at loss of 25%. Find the selling price.​

Answer 1

Answer = Rs 6000

Cost of washing machine = Rs 7500

Money Spent in it's cartage = Rs 500

CP = Rs ( 7500 + 500 ) = Rs 8000

Now ,

SP = 100 - loss % X CP

----------------

100

= 100 -25 X 8000

-----------

100

= 75 X 8000

----------------

100

= 600000

------------

100

= Rs 6000

Answer 2

Cp=loss - Sp

cp=25% -Rs7500

25÷100×7500=1875
