please explain it nicely , please try not to write answer directly . ​

Answer 1

Ram buys a book for ₹300

Therefore, cost price of the book = ₹300

He sells the book at a loss of 15%

Therefore, the loss is

$\frac{15}{100} \times ₹300 = ₹45$

Therefore,

Selling price = Cost price - loss

Selling price = ₹300 - ₹45

Selling price = ₹255

Ram sells the book at ₹255

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of a book =Rs.300

Loss percent =15%

Loss=Loss % of C.P =15% of Rs. 300

= 15/100 ×300

= Rs. 45

Therefore, S.P = C.P - Loss

= 300 - 45=Rs.255

Hence, Ram sells a book for Rs. 255
