Question

Kanika bought a book for Rs 175 and sold it at 15% loss. Find the selling price.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of a book =Rs.275

Loss percent =15%

Loss=Loss % of C.P =15% of Rs. 275

=10015×275=Rs.41.25

Therefore, S.P =  C.P -  Loss

=275−41.25=Rs.233.75

Hence, Amina sells a book for Rs. 233.75

Answer 2

Given,

• Kanika bought a book for ₹175. (CP)
• Sold it at 15% loss. (LP)

To Find,

• The selling price (SP)

Solution,

Let's

The SP = X

$: \implies The \: \: CP = x - x \times \frac{15}{100} \\ \\ : \implies ₹175 = x - x \times \frac{15}{100} \\ \\ : \implies ₹175 = x - \frac{15x}{100} \\ \\ : \implies ₹175 = \frac{100x - 15x}{100} \\ \\ : \implies ₹175 = \frac{85x}{100} \\ \\ : \implies ₹175 \times \frac{100}{85} = x \\ \\ \boxed{ : \implies ₹ 205.88 = x}$

Required Answer ,

SP = ₹205.88
