Question

Amina buys a book for ₹ 275 and sells it at a loss of 15%. How much does she sell it for ?

Answer 1

C.P. of a book = Rs 275
loss = 15% of C.P $=\frac{15}{100}\times \text{C.P}$
$=\frac{15}{100}\times 275=Rs.41.25$
S.P = C.P - Loss
= 275 - 41.25
= Rs. 233.751
$\therefore$ She sells it for Rs 233.75.
