Given
- Surbhi sells a scooty for 11,900 units
- She loses 15% in the bargain
To Find
The price at which she bought the scooty.
Solution
Here,
The price at which Surbhi sold the scooty, i.e the Selling Price = 11, 900 units.
Loss percentage = 15%
Now, Loss percent = loss/Cost Price X 100
= (Cost Price - Selling Price)/Cost Price X 100
Let the Cost Price be x
Since,
(x - Selling Price)/x X 100 = 15
or, (x- 11900)/x = 0.15
or, x - 11900 = 0.15x
or, 1.15x = 11900
or, x = 11900/1.15
or, x = 10, 347.83 units (approx)
Therefore, she bought the scooty for 10, 347.83 units (approx)
