20
​

Answer 1

Answer:

CP=SP+LOSS

Let  CP be  x

LOSS=1/20x  =  x/20

x  =   6270   +   x/20

x  =  125400  +  x  /  20

20x  =  125400+x

20x  -  x  =125400

19x = 125400

x  =  125400/19

x  =  6600

CP = 6600

Answer 2

$\bf\underline{\underline{\pink{Solution:-}}}$

$\green{Correct\:question:-}$

✭A man sold an article for ₹6,270 and lost at 20% by selling it. Find the cost price of that item.

$\green{Answer:-}$

✭Cost price of the item =₹7,838

$\green{Given:-}$

✭Selling price of that item and loss on that item is ₹6,270 and ₹20 respectively.

$\green{To\:calculate:-}$

✭Cost price of the item

Step by step explanation:-

Cost price of the item = $\frac{SP×100}{100 – percentage loss}$

= $\frac{6,270×100}{100 – 20}$

= $\frac{6,27,000}{80}$

= ₹7,838

$\bf\underline{\underline{\blue{Extra\:Formulae:-}}}$

✭Profit or Gain = Selling price – Cost Price

✭ Loss = Cost Price – Selling Price

✭Profit percentage = (Profit /Cost Price) x 100

✭ Loss percentage = (Loss / Cost price) x 100

✭ This is in case of loss:-

✭ Cost Price = $\frac{SP×100}{100 – percentage loss}$

✭ This is in case of profit:-

✭ Cost Price = $\frac{SP×100}{100 + percentage profit}$

✭This is in case of loss:-

✭Selling Price = {(100 – Loss %)/100} x CP}

✭This is in case of profit:-

✭Selling Price = {(100 + Gain %)/100} x CP}
