A woman bought a grinder for N60,000. She sold it at a loss of 15%. How much did she sell it?
A.
N53,000
B.
N52,000
C.
N51,000
D.
N50,000
Correct Answer: N51,000
Explanation
SP = Nx CP = N60,000 Percentage loss = 15% Using percentage loss... (CP−SP)/CP = 100% 15% = (60000− x)/ 60000 × 100% 15% × 60000=(60000−x)100% 60000 − x = (15% × 60000)100% 60000 - x = 3 x 3000 60000 -x = 9000 x = 60000 - 9000 x = N51,000
SP = Nx CP = N60,000 Percentage loss = 15% Using percentage loss... (CP−SP)/CP = 100% 15% = (60000− x)/ 60000 × 100% 15% × 60000=(60000−x)100% 60000 − x = (15% × 60000)100% 60000 - x = 3 x 3000 60000 -x = 9000 x = 60000 - 9000 x = N51,000THIS WEEK's
