Answer 2

The cost price is Rs.9000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A man sold a watch at Rs.6000, at a loss of 33×1/3%.

To find : The cost price?​

Solution :

The selling price is Rs.6000.

The loss percent is $L\%=33\frac{1}{3}\%=\frac{100}{3}\%$

The cost price is given by,

$CP=\frac{100}{100-L\%}\times SP$

$CP=\frac{100}{100-\frac{100}{3}}\times 6000$

$CP=\frac{100}{\frac{200}{3}}\times 6000$

$CP=1.5\times 6000$

$CP=9000$

Therefore, the cost price is Rs.9000.
