Question

by selling a wooden table at a loss of 20% A shopkeeper makes a loss of ruppes 90 is selling price

Answer 1

Solutions :-

We have,

Loss % = 20%

Loss = Rs 90

Let the Cost price (C.P) be x

A/q

=> 20% of x = 90

=> 0.2x = 90

=> x = 90/0.2 = 450

C.P = x = Rs 450

Selling price (S.P) = C.P - loss

= Rs (450-90)

= Rs 360

Hence,

Selling price is Rs 360

Answer 2

Loss = 20% (Given)

Loss = Rs 90 (Given)

Find the cost price:

20% = Rs 90

1% = 90 ÷ 20 = Rs 4.50

100% = 4.5 x 100 = Rs 450

Find the selling price:

Selling Price = Cost Price - Loss

Selling Price = Rs 450 - 90 = Rs 360

Answer: The selling price is Rs 360
