Question

an item was sold 340 loss of 5% what was its CP​

Answer 1

Answer:

Your question is not accurate .

I think.

$SP = 340$

$loss\%= 5\%$

$CP = \frac{100}{(100 - loss\%)} \times SP$

$\: \: \: \: \: = \frac{100}{(100 - 5)} \times 340$

$\: \: \: \: \: = \frac{100}{95 } \times 340$

$\: \: \: \: \: = \frac{ \: 20 \times 340}{19}$

$\: \: \: \: \: = \frac{6800}{19}$

$\: \: \: \: \: = 357\frac {17}{19}$
