Nandini Basu bought an article for Rs. 5844. She gave Rs. 156 to a mechanic to remove its defect. She then sold it for Rs. 5700. What was her loss percent ?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
A
Actual cost price of an article :
= Rs. (5844 + 156)
= Rs. 6000
Selling price of that article = Rs. 5700
Loss = Rs. (6000 - 5700) = Rs. 300
Loss percent :
= $$\frac{300}{6000}$$ × 100
= 5%
= Rs. (5844 + 156)
= Rs. 6000
Selling price of that article = Rs. 5700
Loss = Rs. (6000 - 5700) = Rs. 300
Loss percent :
= $$\frac{300}{6000}$$ × 100
= 5%
