Question

Amina buys a book for Rs 275 and sells it at a loss of 15 %. How much does she sell it for?

Answer 1

$\large{\underline{\red{\bf{Answer:-}}}}$

➜Cost Price of book = ₹275

➜Loss percentage = 15%

➜Selling Price of book =

$\frac{loss}{cp} \times 100\% = 15\%$

$\frac{loss}{275} = \frac{15\%}{100\%}$

➜Loss = $\frac{15}{100 } \times 275 = \frac{4125}{100}$

Loss = ₹41.25

Now,

Loss = CP - SP

SP = CP - Loss

= ₹275 - ₹41.25

= ₹233.75

Hence, she sells it for ₹233.75

Answer 2

Given:

• Cost Price = ₹275
• Loss = 15%

To Find:

• Selling Price of the book?

Solution:

$\bigstar{\underline{\boxed{\tt\pink{ Loss = Cost \ Price_{(cp)} \times \dfrac{ Loss_{(Parcentage)} }{100} }}}}$

Let the Loss be x

After substituting the values,

$\colon\implies {\tt{ x = 275 \times \cancel{ \dfrac{15}{100} } }} \\ \\ \\ \colon\implies {\tt{ x = 275 \times 0.15 }} \\ \\ \\ \colon\implies {\boxed{\mathfrak\pink{ x = 41.25 }}}$

The Loss after selling the book is Rs. 41.25 .

$\circ \: {\underline{\boxed{\tt{ Selling \ Price = Cost \ Price — Loss }}}}$

$\colon\implies {\tt{ SP = 275 — 41.25 }} \\ \\ \\ \colon\implies {\tt\purple{SP = 233.75 }}$

Hence,

• The Selling Price of the Book is ₹ 233.75 .
