दुसऱ्या दिवशी स्वतःच्या उपयोगाचे सर्वात स्वस्त पुस्तक खरेदी करण्यासाठी ती नेमकी रोकड घेऊन दुकानात गेली. तेथे सर्व पुस्तकांंची 20% टक्के कमी दराने विक्री सुरू होती. म्हणून तिने जवळ असलेल्या पैशांमधून स्वतःच्या उपयोगाचे सर्वात किमती पुस्तक घेतले. आयेशाकडे उरलेली रक्कम निवडा.
Since books were sold at a 20% discount, she could buy the most expensive book she desired using her exact cash, which previously would have fallen short. The remaining amount is calculated based on the discount structure.
जेव्हा एक जागा ₹ 18,700 ना विकली, तेव्हा त्या मालकाचे 15% नुकसान झाले. ती जागा किती किंमतीला विकायला पाहिजे होती, म्हणजे 15% नफा झाला असता ? When a plot is sold for ₹ 18,700, the owner loses 15%. At what price must that plot be sold in order to gain 15% ?
First, find the cost price (CP) of the plot by taking 85% = ₹ 18,700, so CP = 18700 / 0.85 = ₹ 22,000. Then calculate the selling price for a 15% profit: 22,000 * 1.15 = ₹ 25,300.
