Question

Sita purchased a camera at RS.60,000 spend Rs.5000 repair. If she sold at 30% loss, find the selling price.​

Answer 1

The total cost incurred by Sita on the camera is:

Purchase price = Rs. 60,000
Repair cost = Rs. 5,000

Total cost = Rs. 60,000 + Rs. 5,000 = Rs. 65,000

Selling price after a 30% loss on cost price would be:

Selling price = Cost price - Loss
Loss = 30% of Cost price
Cost price = Rs. 65,000

Loss = 30/100 x Rs. 65,000
Loss = Rs. 19,500

Selling price = Rs. 65,000 - Rs. 19,500
Selling price = Rs. 45,500

Therefore, the selling price of the camera after a 30% loss on cost price is Rs. 45,500.

Answer 2

1. ₹45500

Explanation:

`\displaystyle\large\sf\mapsto{ CP = ₹60000 }`

`\displaystyle\large\sf\mapsto{ Total \: CP = ₹ 60000 + 5000 }`

We know that,

`\displaystyle\large\sf\mapsto{CP = CP + Overhead \: expenses}`

`\displaystyle\large\sf\mapsto{ Total \: CP = ₹ 65000}`

Now,

`\displaystyle\large\sf\mapsto{ SP = CP × ((100 - loss \% ))/(100) }`

`\displaystyle\large\sf\mapsto{ \: ₹ 65000 * ((100 - 30))/(100) }`

`\displaystyle\large\sf\mapsto{ \: ₹ 650 \cancel{00 } \: * \frac{70}{1 \cancel{00}} }`

`\displaystyle\large\sf\mapsto{ \: ₹ 650 * 70} \\ \\ \displaystyle\large\sf\mapsto{ \: = ₹ 45500}`

Thus,

`\displaystyle\large\bf\red{ \mapsto{selling \: price \: = ₹ 45500}}`
