Answer 2

Price at which flower is sold is ₹108

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN

Total value = 120

Percent = 10%

___________________________

To Find

Price at which flower sold

___________________________

We know that,

percent = part / whole × 100

10% = part / 120 × 100

Part value = percent × whole / 100

Part value = 10 × 120 / 100

Part value = 1200 / 100

Part value = 12

10% = ₹12

___________________________

If shopkeeper sells flower at a loss of 10%

Then

Selling Price = 120 - 12

Selling Price = 108

Selling Price = ₹108

Price at which flower sold is ₹108

Important

If part value and total value is given and we need to find percent

Then,

Percent = part / whole × 100

If percent and total value is given and we need to find part value

Then,

Part value = percent × whole / 100
