Question

AA bookseller purchased 100 story books at Rs.135 each.She donated 10 books and sold remaining at 2% loss,find SP of each book

Answer 1

Number of story books bought = 100

C.P. of each book = Rs. 135

C.P. of all 100 books = Rs. (135×100)= Rs. 13500

C.P. of 90 books = Rs. (135×90)= Rs. 12150

Number of books donated = 10

Number of books sold = 100-10=90

Loss% in the transaction = 2%

S.P. of all books = (C.P./100)(100-loss%)

=Rs. (12150/100×98)

Thus, S.P. of each book

= Rs. {(12150/100×98)÷90}

= Rs. (12150/100×98/90)

= Rs. 132.3
