Question

3) Cooler S.P = 6,786
loss 13 percent
C.p =? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

loss = C.P -S.P

C.P = [ 100 /100-loss%] ×sp

cp = [100/ 100- 13] × 6,786

cp = 7800

Answer 2

Before, finding the answer. Let's find out we can find the answer.

• In this question, we are asked to find the Cost price.
• So, to find the Cost Price, we must use the formula of :

$\boxed{ \tt Cost \: Price = \frac{S.P}{100 - loss } \times 100}$

• Here, in the numerator we have to multiply the Selling Price and 100 first.
• Then, in the denominator, we must subtract 100 and loss. Then, we must divide the numerator and denominator.

Given :

• Selling Price = 6786
• Loss Percent = 13 %

To find :

• Cost price

Solution :

${ \tt Cost \: Price = \dfrac{S.P}{100 - loss } \times 100}$

                 $\tt = \dfrac{6,786}{100 - 13 } \times 100}$

                $\tt = \dfrac{678600}{100 - 13 }$

                $\tt = \dfrac{678600}{87 }$

                $\tt = 7800$

Therefore, the Cost Price of Cooler is Rs. 7800.
