Question

Ram buys an article for $ 1800 and sells it at 10% loss. Find its selling price. *

Answer 1

The answer is $180

Explanation:

10% = 0.10

.10 x 1800 = 180

Answer 2

cost price ( cp) =$ 1800

loss = 10%

selling price ( sp) = ?

we know,

sp= cp - loss percent of cp

= 1800- 10/100 × 1800

= 1800 - 0.1× 1800

= 1800-180

=$1620

: . $1620 is the selling price of an article.
