By selling 144 notebook Kailash lost lost the SP of 6 notebook find his loss percent. Had he purchased them for Rs. 7200, what would have been S.P of one notebook? Ans: 4% SP= 48.
Answer:
Loss % is 4 % . Selling price of 1 notebook is Rs.48
Step-by-step explanation:
Let S.P of 1 notebook is Rs.1
Total S.P of 144 notebook= RS.144
S.P of 6 notebooks = Rs.6
∴ Loss = Rs.6
Total C.P =Total S.P +loss
= 144 + 6
= Rs.150
Loss percentage = (loss / C.P) × 100
= ( 6 / 150 ) × 100
= 4 %
Now, if cost price of 144 notebook = Rs. 7200
As we know that,
Selling Price = {1 - ( % loss /100 )} × C.P
Selling price of 144 notebook at 4% loss= { 1 - (4 /100)} × 7200
= { 1 - 0.04} ×7200
= 0.96 × 7200
= RS,6912
Hence, S.P of 1 notebook = 6912 / 144
= Rs.48
