Question
Amina buys a book for ₹ 275 and sells it at a loss of 15%. How much does she sell it for?
Solution
Cost price = ₹ 275
Loss% = 15%
Loss = 15% of 275
Cost price − Loss = Selling price
`275 - 15/100 xx 275` = Selling Price
`275 - 4125/100` = Selling Price
275 − 41.25 = Selling price
∴ Selling price = ₹ 233.75
