Question

an almirah was purchased for Rs 6250 and Rs 150 was given for transportation find the selling price of the item is the loss percent in the transaction is 22%

Answer 1

Solutions :-

Given :
An almirah was purchased for Rs 6250.
and Rs 150 was given for transportation.
Total cost price of almirah = Rs (6250 + 150) = Rs 6400

Loss = 22%


Find the Selling price of an almirah :-

S.P = C.P - Loss % of C.P
= 6400 - 22% of 6400
= 6400 - 1408
= 4992


Hence,
Selling price of an almirah = Rs 4992

Answer 2

Total CP of Almirah = 6250 + 150( due to transportation)

= 6400

As Loss ℅ is 22℅

So SP <CP

Let's calculate Loss

As loss is 22% of CP

So 22 × 6400/ 100

= 22× 64 = 1408 rs

As SP<CP

so CP - SP= 1408

SP = CP -1408 = 6400 - 1408 = 4992 Rs
