Question

Deepali has bought a sofa set for Rs 14,500. There is an additional expense of Rs 500 on it. Since she did not like the sofa set, she sold it bearing a loss of 8.5%. For how much did she sell the sofa set?

• A. $Rs10,725$
• B. $Rs11,725$
• C. $Rs13,725$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$Rs13,725$

Original price =100
then
14500+500 = 15000
total cost = 15000
loss = 8.5%
then,
$\text{Total SP=[(100-Loss\%)/100]*(Cost price)}$
$=\left(91.5/100\right)\ast 15000$
$=91.5\ast 150$
$=13725$
