Question

an article sold for 240 at a loss of 33 1/3%.find the cost price​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs.360

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

SP= Rs.240

Loss% = $33\frac{1}{3}$   ⇒  $\frac{100}{3}$

CP=?

Formulae,

$CP=\frac{100*SP}{100-losspercent}$

Lets find the CP now:-

⇒ $CP=\frac{100*240}{100-\frac{100}{3} }$

⇒ $CP=\frac{100*240}{\frac{300-100}{3} }$

⇒ $CP=\frac{100*240*3}{200}$

⇒ $CP=360$

∴The Cost Price of the Article is Rs.360
