if a boy buys a cycle for ₹ 4200 and spends ₹ 200 for its repair after 2 months he sells it for ₹1700. then what is the loss the boy got.​

Answer 1

Answer:

rupees 2700

Step-by-step explanation:

the cost prize would include all the charges

so total cp is 4200+200=4400

selling prize/sp=1700

it is a loss because cp>sp

loss=cp-sp

4400-1700=2700

the boy got a loss of rupees 2700
