Answer 1

Answer:

S.P= ₹ 540, loss%=5%

S.P= ₹ 540, loss%=5%Let the Cost price = C.P

S.P= ₹ 540, loss%=5%Let the Cost price = C.PLoss% =( loss/C.P) × 100

S.P= ₹ 540, loss%=5%Let the Cost price = C.PLoss% =( loss/C.P) × 100Loss% =( (CP- SP)/CP ) × 100

S.P= ₹ 540, loss%=5%Let the Cost price = C.PLoss% =( loss/C.P) × 100Loss% =( (CP- SP)/CP ) × 1005 =( (CP - 540)/CP ) × 100

S.P= ₹ 540, loss%=5%Let the Cost price = C.PLoss% =( loss/C.P) × 100Loss% =( (CP- SP)/CP ) × 1005 =( (CP - 540)/CP ) × 1005/100 = ( (CP - 540)/CP ) 

S.P= ₹ 540, loss%=5%Let the Cost price = C.PLoss% =( loss/C.P) × 100Loss% =( (CP- SP)/CP ) × 1005 =( (CP - 540)/CP ) × 1005/100 = ( (CP - 540)/CP ) 1/20 = ( (CP - 540)/CP ) 

S.P= ₹ 540, loss%=5%Let the Cost price = C.PLoss% =( loss/C.P) × 100Loss% =( (CP- SP)/CP ) × 1005 =( (CP - 540)/CP ) × 1005/100 = ( (CP - 540)/CP ) 1/20 = ( (CP - 540)/CP ) CP = 20 (CP - 540)

S.P= ₹ 540, loss%=5%Let the Cost price = C.PLoss% =( loss/C.P) × 100Loss% =( (CP- SP)/CP ) × 1005 =( (CP - 540)/CP ) × 1005/100 = ( (CP - 540)/CP ) 1/20 = ( (CP - 540)/CP ) CP = 20 (CP - 540)20 = 20CP - 1080020CP - CP = 1080019CP = 10800CP = 10800/19

S.P= ₹ 540, loss%=5%Let the Cost price = C.PLoss% =( loss/C.P) × 100Loss% =( (CP- SP)/CP ) × 1005 =( (CP - 540)/CP ) × 1005/100 = ( (CP - 540)/CP ) 1/20 = ( (CP - 540)/CP ) CP = 20 (CP - 540)20 = 20CP - 1080020CP - CP = 1080019CP = 10800CP = 10800/19CP =₹ 568.42

CP = S.P×100/100-loss%

CP = 475 X 100/100-5

CP = 47500/95

CP = 500

CP = 500/-

Therefore, the item was sold for Rs 500.
