Answer 1

$\huge\bf{Answer:-}$

A table was sold at 16% loss for Rs. 1,680 and we have to find what is its cost price of the table.

Hence

Let y be the cost price (CP)

16% = 5 Loss

Formula

$\sf CP = \frac{100° SP}{100} - loss \\ \\ \sf = \frac{100° 1,680}{100} - 16 \\ \\ \sf = \frac{1,68,000}{84} \\ \\ \sf = 2,000$

Therefore , 2,000 is the cost price of the table
