Answer 1

Question :-

A man bought an article for 4640 and sold at a loss of 12.5%. Find the selling price.

Solution :-

We know that,

$\boxed{\sf Selling \: Price = \frac{100 - Loss\%}{100} \times CP}$

Substituting the value in formula :-

⇒ $\sf SP = \frac{100-12.5}{100}\times 4640$

⇒ $\sf SP = \frac{87.5}{10\cancel0} \times 464\cancel0$

⇒ $\sf SP = \frac{87.5}{10} \times 464$

⇒ $\sf SP = 4,060$

Selling Price = Rs. 4060
