Question

A man sold his bicycle for Rs.810, losing one-ninth of its selling price. Find (i) Loss

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

( note the question is incorrect it should be 1/9 of its cost price)

solu;

here,

sp = 810

cp = x ( let )

loss = 1/9 of cp

      = 1/9 * x

      = x/9 ... epu - 1

now,

cp = sp - loss

or, x = 810 - x/9

or, x = (7290 - x)/9

or, 9x + x = 7290

or, 10x = 7290

or, x = 7290/10

or, x = 729

again,

for equ - 1

loss = x/9

      = 729/9

      = 81

therefore loss = 81 is the answer.

Thank You!!
