Answer 2

Answer :-

• The selling price of the book bought by Kanika is Rs. 148.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

To Find :-

• The selling price of a book bought by Kanika

Solution:

Given that,

• Cost price of book = Rs. 175
• Loss percentage = 15%

As we know that,

Selling price = (100-loss%)÷(100) × Cost Price,

Therefore,

=> Selling price = (100-15)÷(100) × 175

=> Selling price = (85)÷(100) × 175

=> Selling price = 0.85 × 175

=> Selling price = 148.75

Hence,

• The selling price of the book bought by Kanika is Rs. 148.75.
