To find :

The selling price of an article

Solution:

the  Cost price of an article = 120 Rs

the discount is 5%

so,

the discount prize of 120 =120×$\frac{5}{100}$

                                           =6 rs.

so the discount prize of 120 is 6rs.

now, we have to find the selling price.

so, we will add the discount price to the cost price

selling price of an article = 120+6

                                          =126Rs

Hence, the selling price of an article is​ 126 rs.          

Answer 2

For an article its cost price is Rs.$120$

Sold at a profit of $5$%,

To find the selling price.

For calculating selling price,

= Discount prize $+$ CP

$=6+120$

$=126$ Rs

The selling price of an article is $126$ Rs.
