Answer 2

Answer:

Total loss is equal to 60 rupees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the toy be bought at x rupees.

As given seller is selling the toy at 15% loss, so the selling price of the toy is

                          Selling price = x - ( 0.15 )( x ) = 0.85( x )

As given in the question selling price is equal to 136 rupees.

So,

                            0.85( x ) = 136

                                 x = 160

We get the cost price ( x ) as 160 rupees.

Now, he is selling each toy at 148 rupees.

So, he is selling each toy at a loss of 12 rupees per toy and he sold 5 toys.

Therefore the total loss of seller is 60 rupees.
