Question

the amount of an article was Rs.16200 and Rs.400 spent on its repair if the person suffers a loss 10%find the s.p​

Answer 1

Answer:SP of the Article is RS 14940

Step-by-step explanation:

CP of the article= RS 16200

Money Spent on its repair= RS 400

Total Cost of the article= RS(16200+400)

                                       =Rs 16600

Loss= 10%

SP= (100-10)/100*CP

SP= 90/100* 16600

    =RS 14940

Answer 2

Solution :

$\underline{\bf{Given\::}}}$

The amount of an article was Rs.16200 & Rs.400 spent on it's repair if the person suffers a loss 10%.

$\underline{\bf{Explanation\::}}}$

Using formula of the Selling price when cost price given;

$\boxed{\bf{Selling\:price=\frac{100-loss\:(\%)}{100} \times C.P.}}}}$

A/q

We have total cost price of an Article = Rs.16200 + Rs.400 = Rs.16600

$\mapsto\sf{Selling\:price=\dfrac{100-10}{100} \times 16600}\\\\\\\mapsto\sf{Selling\:price=\dfrac{90}{\cancel{100}} \times \cancel{16600}}\\\\\\\mapsto\sf{Selling\:price=Rs.(90\times 166)}\\\\\mapsto\bf{Selling\:price=Rs.14940}$

Thus;

The selling price (S.P) of an article will be Rs.14940 .
