Selling Price (SP) = 1980
Gain = 10 %. Cost Price = ?
Let CP be X.
=> 10 % of X = 1980 - X
10X/100 + X = 1980
(10 X + 100 X)/100 = 1980
110X/100 =1980
X = (1980 × 100) / 110
X = 1800/-
Therefore the Cost Price =Rs 1800

Let the Cost price be x
profit=10x/100=x/10
now
C.P.+PROFIT=S.P.
so,x+x/10=1980
110x/100=1980
11x/10=1980
x=(1980*10)/11
x=19800/11=1800
SO, COST PRICE OF HORSE =RS.1800
profit=10x/100=x/10
now
C.P.+PROFIT=S.P.
so,x+x/10=1980
110x/100=1980
11x/10=1980
x=(1980*10)/11
x=19800/11=1800
SO, COST PRICE OF HORSE =RS.1800
