Question

A fan is sold for rs 660 at a loss of 12% . Find the cost price of the fan. Please give step by step explanation.​

Answer 1

Answer:

selling price of fan = ₹660

loss in percentage = 12%

loss in amount = 12% of 660

= ₹ 79.2

cost price = selling price + loss

₹ ( 660 + 79.2 )

= ₹ 739.2

Answer 2

cost price=(selling price x loss percent) + selling price

= (660 x 12%) + 660

= (660 x 12/100) + 660

= 396/5 + 660

= 79.2 + 660

= rs 739.2
