Answer 1

➤ Given :-

Cost price of book :- ₹ 275

Loss percentage :- 15%

➤ To Find :-

Selling price of the book............

➤ Solution :-

First, we should find out the loss in numerical form by finding 15% of 275 rupees...........

Loss :-

$\tt \longrightarrow 15 \bf\% \sf \: \: of \: \tt \: 275$

${\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{15}{100} \times 275}$

${\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{15}{ \cancel{100}} \times \cancel{275} = \boxed{\tt\dfrac{15}{4} \times 11}}$

${\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{15 \times 11}{4} = \dfrac{165}{4}}$

${\tt \longrightarrow \cancel \dfrac{165}{4} = \boxed{\tt 41.25}}$

Now,

Selling price of the book :-

$\tt \longrightarrow 275 - 41.25$

${\longrightarrow \sf Rs \: \tt \: 233.75}$

$\Huge\therefore$The selling price of the book is ₹233.75.
