Question

Dinesh buys a washing machine for rupees 24000 and sells it at loss of 20%. How much does he sell it for ?

Answer 1

cp=24000
20% of cp=24000 ×20/100
loss = 4800
selling price =cp -loss =19200 rupees

Answer 2

CP=24000
Loss%=20%
$sp = \frac{100 - loss\%}{100} \times cp$
therefore sp=
$\frac{100 - 20}{100} \times 24000$
=80/100×24000
=80×240
=19200
