Answer 1

hello here is your answer by Sujeet yaduvanshi ☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝


Original price =100
then
14500+500
1500

total cost=1500
loss=8.5%
then,
91.5/100*1500
Total Sp=Loss%\100*Cost price


91.5/100*15000
91.5*150
13725



that's all

Answer 2

Answer:

Rs 13725

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question

Cost price of a sofa set, C.P = 14,500

Additional expense = 500

Total cost = 14500 + 500

                 = 15000

Loss % = 8.5 %

We know that

Selling Price, S.P = $[\frac{100\ -\ loss\%}{100}]\times C.P$

                            = $[\frac{100\ -\ 8.5}{100}]\times15000$

                            = $[\frac{91.5}{100}]\times15000$

                            = $91.5\times150$

                             = 13725

Hence the selling price will be Rs 13725.
