Question

A bicycle is sold for rupees 1190 at loss of 6whole 2/3% . What is the cost prize of the bicycle

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let cost price be ₹ x

selling price ≈ ₹1190

Loss = 6 whole 2/3= 20/3%

ATQ, X-20/300x = 1190

or 280 x /300=1190

or 14x/15= 1190

or x = 1190× 15/14

or x = 85× 15

or x = 1275

so selling price is 1275
