Question

Cp is equal to 12.50 loss 40/3

Answer 1

Answer:

selling price = Rs10.83

Explanation:

Given Cost price (c.p)=Rs12.50

Loss (l) = 13⅓% = 40/3%

Let the selling price = s.p

s.p=c.p\frac{\left(100-l\right)}{100}s.p=c.p

100

(100−l)

\implies s.p=12.50\times\frac{\left(100-\frac{40}{3}\right)}{100}⟹s.p=12.50×

100

(100−

3

40

)

\implies s.p=12.50\times\frac{\left(300-40\right)}{3\times100}⟹s.p=12.50×

3×100

(300−40)

\implies s.p = 12.50\times\frac{260}{300}⟹s.p=12.50×

300

260

\implies s.p = \frac{3250}{300}⟹s.p=

300

3250

\implies s.p = Rs10.83⟹s.p=Rs10.83

Therefore,

Selling price (s.p) = Rs10.83
