Answer 1

Answer:

The cost price = RS. 1200

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

a man sold an article for 1080 and lost 1/10 the cost price

Therefor the loss = 1/10th of cost price

To find the cost price

So the selling price is 9/10th of cost price

Therefor we can write,

9/10(selling price ) = 1080

Then selling price =( 1080 x 10)/9 =1200

Therefore  the cost price = RS. 1200

Answer 2

Answer:

1080×10/9=1200

this is the correct answer
