Question

Hari purchased a camera for rs 1560 and sold ot at 5% loss. find hos loss amount​

Answer 1

Answer:

$SP = 1482$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$CP = Rs. 1560$ --- Cost Price

$Loss = 5\%$

Required

Determine the selling price (SP)

This is calculated using:

$\%Loss =\frac{CP - SP}{CP} * 100\%$

So, we have:

$5\% = \frac{1560 - SP}{1560} * 100\%$

$5 = \frac{1560 - SP}{1560} * 100$

Multiply through by 1560

$1560 * 5 = \frac{1560 - SP}{1560} * 100*1560$

$1560 * 5 = (1560 - SP) * 100$

$1560 * 5 = 1560 * 100- SP * 100$

$7800 = 156000- 100SP$

Collect Like Terms

$100SP= 156000- 7800$

$100SP= 148200$

Make SP the subject

$SP = \frac{148200}{100}$

$SP = 1482$

The selling price is Rs. 1482
