Question

A fan was sold for Rs 505 at a loss of 95/6% find its cost price

Answer 1

SP = 505
Let CP be x

We are given, x - x*95/100*6 = 505
                      so, x =600

So, Cost Price = 600 rs.

Answer 2

let the cost price is x
then we know that the loss%= (loss/CP)×100
given that loss% = 95/6%
then according to the question
95/6=(x-505/x)×100
95x=600x-303000
303000=505x
x=303000/505
x=600rs
