Question

Find SP if CP = Rs1250 , Loss = 10%

Answer 1

Answer :-

• The selling price of the item = Rs 1125.

Given :-

• Cost price = Rs 1250.
• Loss = 10%

To find :-

• The selling price.

Step-by-step explanation :-

In this question, the cost price and the loss % has been given to us. We have to find the selling price. We know that profit and loss is always calculated on the cost price, so we will use the loss %, convert it into numbers and use it to find our answer.

Calculations :-

Here,

Cost price = Rs 1250.

Loss = 10%

So, to find the loss suffered, let's find 10% of Rs 1250 (Cost price).

$\tt 10\% \: of \: 1250$

Converting 10% into fraction,

$\tt \dfrac{1\!\!\!\not0}{1\!\!\!\not0\!\!\!\not0} \times 125\!\!\!\not0$

Cutting off the zeroes,

$\tt \dfrac{1}{1} \times 125$

Now let's multiply the remaining numbers.

$\tt 1 \times 125$

Multiplying the numbers,

$\tt 125.$

Thus, the loss suffered = Rs 125.

Now, we know that :-

${\underline{\fbox{\sf Selling price = CP - Loss}}}$

So,

Selling price = Rs 1250 - Rs 125 = Rs 1125.

Hence, the selling price = Rs 1125.
