Answer 2

The loss percentage on total sales is 8%.

Option - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sheenu imported 20000 mobiles from china at a discount of 15% on the marked price. Out of these 20% of the mobiles were damaged in transit.

If the selling price of undamaged mobiles is 15% more than its cost price, then the profit and loss percentage on total sales  

Solution:

Let the cost price of a mobile be Rs.100, 20000 $\times$ 100 = 2000000

20% of the mobiles, $\frac{20}{100} \times 20000$ = 4000 mobiles were damaged.

Selling price of the remaining 16000 mobiles is 15% more than its cost price, $\frac{115}{100} \times 100$ = 115 rupees.

Selling price of all the mobiles = 115 $\times$ 16000 = 1840000.

Total sales = 2000000 – 1840000  = 160000 = 8% loss.
