Answer 2

Answer:

New price = ₹4200

Explanation:

Given,

C. P.(Cost price) of a pair of shoe is ₹6,000

Which has discount of 30% on a sale.

We need to find the S. P. (selling price) after the discount.

S. P. of the shoe is given by,

$\longrightarrow \sf \: \dfrac{100 - discount\%}{100} \times C. P.$

From the given data,

$\longrightarrow \sf \: \dfrac{100 - 30}{100} \times 6000$

$\longrightarrow \sf \: \dfrac{70}{100} \times 6000$

$\longrightarrow \sf \: \dfrac{70}{1 \cancel{00}} \times 60 \cancel{00}$

$\longrightarrow \sf \: 4200$

∴ New price after the reduction is ₹4200

Formula used :

$\longrightarrow \sf \: S. P. =\dfrac{100 - discount\%}{100} \times C. P.$

Additional formulae :

$\longrightarrow \sf \: S. P. =\dfrac{100 + profit\%}{100} \times C. P.$

$\longrightarrow \sf \: C. P. = \dfrac{100}{100 - loss\% } \times S. P.$

$\longrightarrow \sf \: C. P. = \dfrac{100}{100 + profit\% } \times S. P.$
