Answer 2

Given:

A man is selling a stool for rs 630 then loses 10%.

To find:

We have to find the cost price of the stool.

Solution:

To determine the cost price of the stool we have to follow the below steps as follows-

The selling price of the stool is 630 rupees.

The percentage of loss is 10%.

Let the cost price of the stool is x rupees.

So, we can write-

(C.P-S.P/C.P)×100=loss.

$\frac{x - 630}{x} = \frac{10}{100} \\ 10x - 6300 = x \\ 9x = 6300 \\ x = 700$

The value of x is 700.

So, the cost price of the stool is 700 rupees.
