Answer 1

♥HEY DEAR♥

Answer:

2,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Cp of the jacket be x

profit =10%

s.p= [100 +profit% / 100] × Cp

sp =100+ 10/100× x

sp=110 /100 x

Marked price = 2750rs.

Discount offer=20%

Discount = 20% of 2750 = 20/100 × 2750

=550rs.

•°•Sp = Marked price - Discount = 2750 - 550 rs.

Sp=2,200

From 1 and 2 we get.

110/ 100x = 2,200

x = 2,200 ×100 /110

•°• COST PRICE = 2,000

HOPE ITS HELPFULL

Answer 2

cost price is 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

MRP = 2750 ₹

Selling price of jacket = Market price of jacket - Discount of 20% on market price,

                                    = $2750 - 2750\times\frac{20}{100}$

                                    = 2750- 550

                                    = 2200 ₹

10% profit on cost price,

110 % = 2200

100 % =  $2200\times\frac{100}{110}$

100% = 2000

cost price is 2000₹
