S.P=Rs1400-15/100*Rs1400
S.P=Rs1400-Rs210
S.P=Rs1190 Ans.

Answer 2

Answer:

Rs.1190

Step-by-step explanation:

C.P. of scooter = Rs.1400

Loss percent = 15%

Formula of S.P. = $\frac{CP(100-L\%)}{100}$

Substitute the values

S.P.= $\frac{1400(100-15)}{100}$

      = $\frac{1400(85}{100}$

      = $1190$

Hence the selling price of scooter is Rs.1190
