Question

find the selling price when cost price is Rs. 875 and loss is 8%

Answer 1

Hi ,

cost price = CP = Rs 875

loss ( L ) = 8%

selling price = SP = ?

sp = CP [( 100 - L ) / 100]

SP = 875[ ( 100 - 8 )/100 ]

= ( 875 × 92 )/100

= 80500/100

= Rs 805

Therefore ,

selling price = SP = Rs 875

I hope this helps you.

Answer 2

cost price= 875
loss% = 8%

$loss = 875 \times \frac{8}{100 } \\ loss = 8.75 \times 8 = 70 \\ sp \: = cp - loss \\ sp = 875 - 70 \\ sp = 805 \: ans$
