Question

an article costing rupees 200 is being sold at 10 percent loss. if the price is further reduce by 5 percent find the selling price​

Answer 1

Solution :

Cost price of an article ( c.p ) = Rs 200

loss ( l ) = 10%

reduction ( r ) = 5%

Selling price ( s.p )

= c.p[(100-l)/100][(100-r)/100]

= 200[(100-10)/100][(100-5)/100]

= 200×(90/100)(95/100)

= ( 2 × 9 × 95 )/10

= 9 × 19

= 171

Therefore ,

Selling price of the article = Rs 171
