Question

4. Kennedy buys a computer that was reduced in a sale by 10%. If the sale price of the

computer is now N$11 480. 50, what was the original price of the computer?

Answer 1

N$12 576. 11

Explanation:

Loss%=10%

S.P= N$11 480.50

C.P =?

Loss%=100(C.P - S.P)/C.P

10=100(C.P-11 480.50)/C.P

10C.P=100C.P - 1 148 050

1 148 050=100C.P - 10C.P

1 148 050=90C.P

C.P=N$12 576.11
