Question

a shopkeeper purchased a t.v set for RS 9000 and sold it at a loss of 5% . find the S.P of the t.v set
​

Answer 1

Given:

• Cost price of T.V set = RS.900

• loss=5%

To find :

Selling price of the T.V set

solution:

Let the S.P of the T.V set be 'x'

According to question,

$\sf Loss \: = \: 5\% \: of \: Rs. \: 9000$

$\sf\longrightarrow \dfrac{5}{100} \times 9000$

$\sf\longrightarrow \dfrac{5}{\cancel{100}} \times 90{\cancel {00}}$

$\sf\longrightarrow 5 \times 90$

$\sf\therefore 450$

Hence, the loss is of Rs. 450

Now,

$\underline{\boxed{\sf S.P \: = \: C.P \: - \: loss}}$

$\sf\rightarrow S.P \: = \: Rs. \: (9000 \: - \: 450)$

$\sf\therefore S.P \: = \: Rs. \: 8550$

Hence, the S.P of the T.V set is Rs. 8550

More information :

• More information :If the selling price is greater than cost price, then there is a profit.

• Profit = (S.P - C.P

• If the cost price is greater than selling price, then there is a loss.

• Loss = (C.P - S.P)
