Question

A table was sold at 15% loss for ₹1,700. What is the cost price of table? Urgent.... Plz answer

Answer 1

let the cost price of table be 'x'

loss = 15%

cost price - loss = selling price

x - 15% of x = 1700

0.85x = 1700

x = Rs 2000

cost price of table = Rs2000

Answer 2

Answer:

2000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Selling price = 1700, Loss  15%.

We know that Cost price = [100/(100 - Loss%)] * SP

                                         = [100/(100 - 15)] * 1700

                                         = [100/85] * 1700

                                         = 2000.
