Question

A television is purchased for Rs 36000 and sold at a loss of 20% .Find the loss
and selling price.

Answer 1

Answer:

selling price of television is Rs.28,800 and loss is Rs.7,200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

C.P of television = Rs. 36,000

Loss % = 20%

As we know that,

S.P = C.P {1 -(%loss /100)}

     = 36,000 {1 - (20 /100)}

      = 36,000 {1 - (1/5)}

      = 36,000 {(5-1)/5}

      = (36,000 × 4) /5

       = 1,44,000 /5  = Rs.28,800

Loss = C.P - S.P

         = 36, 000 - 28800= Rs.7,200
