Question

A person buys a calculator for rs.1080 and sells at a loss of 20/3 percent.For how much does she sells it

Answer 1

let the amount of loss be x

(x/1080) × 100 = 20/3 %

10x/108=20/3

10x = 108×20/3
10x = 36×20
10x = 720
x = 72

So gets loss of 72 Rs

amount of selling = 1080-72
=1008 Rs
