Question

amina buys a book for 280 she sells it at a loss of 15%.how much does she sell it for?
​

Answer 1

Given that : Cost Price = Rs. 280 and

Loss% = 15

As we know that :

Selling Price = C.P×(100-loss%)/100

=> S.P. = 280×(100-15)/100

=> S.P. = 280×85/100

=> S.P. = 238

So, the Selling Price will be Rs. 238

Answer 2

cp of book = 280

loss = 15% = 15/100 of 280 = 42

sp of book = cp - loss = 280 - 42 =238
