Answer 2

Amina sells book for Rs.233.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's the required formula to find the selling price of book at loss percent.

`\star{\underline{\boxed{\tt{\purple{S.P = C.P * (100 - Loss \% )/(100)}}}}}`

• S.P = Selling Price
• C.P = Cost Price

Substituting all the given values in the formula to find the selling price :

`\implies{\sf{S.P = C.P * (100 - Loss \% )/(100)}}`

`\implies{\sf{S.P = 275 * (100 - 15)/(100)}}`

`\implies{\sf{S.P = 275 * (85)/(100)}}`

`\implies{\sf{S.P = (275 * 85)/(100)}}`

`\implies{\sf{S.P = (23375)/(100)}}`

`\implies{\sf{S.P = \cancel{(23375)/(100)}}}`

`\implies{\sf{S.P = 233.75}}`

`\star{\underline{\boxed{\tt{\red{S.P = Rs \:233.75}}}}}`

Hence, the selling price of book is Rs.233.75.

`\rule{300}{2.5}`
