Question

A TV was sold for rupees 6800 at a loss of 15% find CP of the TV set

Answer 1

Solutions :-


Given :

Selling price of TV = Rs 6800
Loss = 15%


Find the cost price of TV :-

C.P = (S.P × 100)/(100 - loss)
= (6800 × 100)/(100 - 15)
= 680000/85
= 8000


Hence,
The cost price of TV = Rs 8000

Answer 2

Solutions :-


We have,

A TV was sold for rupees 6800
Loss = 15%


Find the cost price of TV :-

$cp = \frac{sp \times 100}{100 - loss} \\ \\ = \frac{6800 \times 100}{100 - 15} \\ \\ = \frac{680000}{85} \\ \\ = 8000$


Answer : Cost price = Rs 8000
