Correct Answer

Explanation
To find out how much the woman sold the grinder for, we need to calculate the loss amount and subtract it from the original price.The loss percentage is 15%, which means she sold it for 100% - 15% = 85% of the original price.To calculate the selling price, we can multiply the original price by the percentage:Selling price = Original price * (1 - Loss percentage)Selling price = ₦60,000 * (1 - 0.15)Selling price = ₦60,000 * 0.85Selling price = ₦51,000Therefore, the woman sold the grinder for ₦51,000.
