Answer 1

➤ Given :-

Selling price of table :- ₹ 3360

Loss percentage :- 16%

➤ To Find :-

Cost price of the table

➤ Formula required :-

${\large \tt \dashrightarrow \orange{\boxed{\tt \gray{\dfrac{100}{(100 - Loss \bf\%)} \times Selling \: price}}}}$

➤ Solution :-

Cost price :-

${\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{100}{(100 - 16)} \times 3360}$

${\tt \longrightarrow \cancel \dfrac{100}{84} \times 3360 = \dfrac{25}{21} \times 3360}$

${\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{25 \times 3360}{21} = \dfrac{84000}{21}}$

${\tt \longrightarrow \cancel \dfrac{84000}{21} = \boxed{\tt Rs \: \: 4000}}$

$\Huge\therefore$ The cost price of the table is ₹ 4000.
