Answer 2

The cost price of the printer is Rs. 9000

Given : A printer was sold at Rupees 8550 at loss of 5%

To find : The cost price of the printer.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to calculate the cost price)

Let, the cost price = Rs. x

Loss amount :

= x × 5%

= x × (5/100)

= Rs. x/20

Selling price :

= Cost price - Loss amount

= x - (x/20)

= (20x - x)/20

= Rs. 19x/20

According to the data mentioned in the question,

19x/20 = 8550

x = 8550 × (20/19)

x = 9000

So, cost price = Rs. x = Rs. 9000

(This will be considered as the final result.)

Hence, the cost price of the printer is Rs. 9000
