Question

Jenny buys a calculator for $ 720 and sells it at a loss of 6²/₃)%. For how much does she sell it?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hence, Jenny sells it for $ 672.  

Step-by-step explanation:

CP of the calculator = $ 720.  

Loss % = 20/3%

SP of the calculator = [{(100 - Loss %)/100} × CP]  

                               = $ [{(100 - 20/3)/100} × 720]  

                               = $ {(280/300) × 720}

                               = $ 672

Answer 2

She sells it for $672.

Given:

Jenny buys a calculator for $ 720 and sells it at a loss of 6²/₃)%.

To find:

For how much does she sell it?

Solution:

Cost price of calculator = 720

Loss = 6 2/3% = 20/3%

We have to calculate selling price, so first we have to find the loss

Loss = loss% * CP

= 20/300 * 720

= 720/15

= 48

Now, loss is subtracted from cost price

SP = CP - loss

= 720 - 48

= 672.

Hence, answer is $672.
