Question

A horse sold for Rs1820 at a loss of 9 percent . Find the cost price of horse​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Sold price : 1820

Loss percent : 9%

Loss percent = ((C.P - S.P) / C.P) *100

Hence, on simplifying we get

(9/100) = 1 - S.P/C.P

SP/CP = 1 - 0.09

SP/CP = 0.91

rearrange to get CP

CP = SP/0.91

CP = 1820/0.91

Hence CP = 2000
