Question

Mrs. Yadav purchase 25 kg of vegetable at Rs 20 per kg and sold at a loss of Rs 50 find her

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{loss\% \: = 10\%}$

$\boxed{selling \: price = Rs 450}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost price of 25 kg of vegetables ( CP ) = 25 × 20

= Rs 500

Loss amount = Rs 50

Selling price ( SP ) = ?

Loss percent = ?

Now, let's find the loss percent :

$\mathsf{ \frac{loss}{cost \: price} \times 100\%}$

$\mathsf{ = \frac{50}{500} \times 100\%}$

$\mathsf{ = 10\%}$

Loss % = 10 %

Now, let's find the selling price:

$\mathsf{ \frac{CP(100 - l\%)}{100} }$

$\mathsf{ = \frac{500(100 - 10)}{100}}$

$\mathsf{ = \frac{500 \times 90}{100} }$

$\mathsf{ = \frac{45000}{100} }$

$\mathsf{= 450}$

Hope I helped!
