Question

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

Answer 1

Cost price = Rs $275$
Loss % = $15\%$
Loss = $15\%$ of $275$
Cost price - Loss = Selling price

$275-\frac{15}{100}\times275=$ Selling price

$275-\frac{4125}{100}=$ Selling price

$275 - 41.25$ = Selling price

Selling price = Rs $233.75$
