Answer 1

Answer:

$900

Step-by-step explanation:

Loss= 25% of cost =25/100×1200=$300

Selling Price= Cost Price - Loss=1200-300=$900

Answer 2

Given:-

• Cost price(C.P) = Rs. 1200
• Loss % = 25

To find:-

• Find the selling price (S.P) ..?

Solution:-

We have,

The cost price is rupees 1200 and loss percent is 25.

we know that,

The selling price.

=> S.P = (100 - Loss%)/100 × C.P

According to question:-

=> S.P = (100 - 25)/100 × 1200

=> S.P = 75/100 × 1200

=> S.P = 75 × 12

=> S.P = 900

• The selling price = Rs. 900

Hence, the selling price is Rs. 900.

Some Important:-

Profit:-

• Profit = S.P - C.P
• S.P = C.P + Profit
• C.P = S.P - Profit

Profit% = (Profit/C.P) × 100

Loss:-

• Loss% = C.P - S.P
• C.P = S.P + Loss
• S.P = C.P - Loss

Loss% = (Loss/C.P) × 100
