Question

The selling price when goods which cost Rs. $280$ are sold at a loss of $10$% is:

• A. Rs. $252$
• B. Rs. $242$
• C. Rs. $232$
• D. Rs. $222$

Answer 1

The correct option is A Rs. $252$

Given,

$\Rightarrow$ Cost price of goods is $Rs.280.$, sold at a loss of $10\%$

$\Rightarrow Loss=280\times \frac{10}{100}=Rs.28$

$\therefore$ Selling price of goods $=$ Cost price $-$ Loss

$\therefore$ Selling price of goods $=Rs.280-Rs.28$

$=Rs.252.$
