Answer 2

Given:-

Cost price, C.P. = Rs.59

Loss % = 25%

To find:-

The selling price of the good.

Solution:-

1. Method 1:-

We have C.P. = Rs.59

and Loss percent = 25

⇒ 100 × $\frac{loss}{CP}$ = 25%

⇒ 100 × $\frac{loss}{59} = 25$

⇒ loss = 25 × $\frac{59}{100\\}$

⇒ loss = 59/4 = 14.75

Using the formula SP = CP-Loss,

SP = 59 - 14.75 = Rs.44.25

2. Method 2:-

We have,

CP = Rs.59 and loss percent = 25%

By using the formula SP =( $\frac{100-loss}{100}$ ×CP)

∴ SP = $\frac{100 - 25}{100}$ × 59 = $\frac{75}{100}$ × 59

⇒ SP = $\frac{3}{4}$ × 59 = 3 × 14.75 = Rs.44.25

Hence, the SP is Rs.44.25
