A person buys a motor cycle for Rs.5000 and sells it at a loss of 20%. What is the selling price of the motor cycle?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

4000 is the selling price of a motor cycle.

Step-by-step explanation:

$Selling \: Price = 5000 - ( 20\% \: of \: 5000)$

$Selling \: Price = 5000 - ( \frac{20}{100} \times 5000)$

$Selling \: Price = 5000 - (20 \times 50)$

$Selling \: Price = 5000 - 1000$

$Selling \: Price = 4000$

Answer 2

Answer:

Rs.4000/-

Explanation

let he buy a moter cycle at Rs.100

and sell moter cycle at 20% loss

then selling price is Rs.80

given that 100x=5000

x=50

then selling price= 80x

put value of x

then selling price= 80×50

= 4000

Thus , selling price of moter cycle=Rs.4000/-
