It is the price at which he sell the vase.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

• Cost Price ( CP ) = Rs. 120

• Loss% = 10%

• Selling Price ( SP ) = ?

$\underline{\bigstar\:\textsf{According to the given Question :}}$

$:\implies\sf Selling\:Price=Cost\:Price \times \bigg(100-Loss\bigg)\% \\\\\\:\implies\sf SP=CP \times \bigg(\dfrac{100-Loss}{100}\bigg)\\\\\\:\implies\sf SP=Rs.\:120 \times \bigg(\dfrac{100-10}{100}\bigg)\\\\\\:\implies\sf SP=Rs.\:120 \times \dfrac{90}{100}\\\\\\:\implies\sf SP = Rs.\:12 \times 9\\\\\\:\implies\underline{\boxed{\sf SP = Rs.\:108}}$
