Question

The cost price of a laptop is ₹78,200. If the loss percentage is 44%, then what is the selling price (in ₹) of the laptop?

• A. 45362
• B. 40230
• C. 43792
• D. 48200

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 43792

Cost price (CP) = ₹78,200
Loss = 44%

Selling Price formula

$SP = CP \times \left(1 - \frac{\text{Loss\%}}{100}\right)$
$SP = 78200 \times (1 - 0.44)$

$SP = 78200 \times 0.56$

Calculate

SP = 438...?
$78200 \times 56 = 4,379,200$

Now divide by 100:
SP = 43,792

Final Answer: ₹43,792
