Question

A person loses 20 by selling a table for 180. What is the cost price of that table? (A) 144 (B) 160 (C) 200 (D) * 216​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

we get loss when the cost price is higher than the selling price.

so cost price of the table = 200

(180+20)

Answer 2

$\huge{\underline{\sf{Solution:-}}}$

Given:-

→ SP of table is ₹ 180.

→ Loss is ₹20.

→ CP = x

$\large{\sf{→loss \: = \: cp - sp}}$

→ x-180 = 20

→ x = 20+180

→ x = 200

Hence, CP is ₹200.
