Question

Mr. Shakya purchased a gold item for Rs. 32,400. If the gold is slightly devaluated and he sold it at 5% loss, find the selling price of the item.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To polish a gold ornament, it is dipped in a liquid called aqua regia (a mixture of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid). On getting the environment of aqua regia, the outer layer of gold dissolves, and the inner shiny layer appears. The dissolving of the layer causes a reduction in the weight of the jewelry.

Answer 2

Answer:

30780 Rs

Step-by-step explanation:

SP = CP * (100 - loss percent)/100

SP = 32400 * (100-5)/100

SP = 32400 * 95/100

SP = 324 * 95

SP = 30780 Rs
