Question

6. By selling every article at a loss of 10, a person had 16% loss. What 3 was the cost price of each article? (A) 60 (B) 50 (C) ₹75 (D) 65​

Answer 1

Answer: A:60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Cost Price be Rs a

 

Loss percent = Loss × 100 / CP

=> 16 2/3 = 10 × 100 / a

=> 50/3 = 1000a

=> a = 1000 × 3 / 50

=> a = 20 × 3

=> a = 60

Cost Price = Rs 60
