Question

An item was sold for Rs 532 at a loss of 5%. What was its cost price?​

Answer 1

Answer:

560/-

Step-by-step explanation:

SP = 532/-

L% = 5%

CP = 100/(100 - L%)*SP

=100/95 * 532

=20 * 28

=560/-

Answer 2

Answer:

PRETTY EASY FRIEND, SO WHAT YOU  GOTTA DO IS:-

S.P=532

LOSS%= 5%

SO NOW  TO FIND C.P LETS KEEP C.P=X

X-5/100*X=532

TAKE LCM OF X:-

10X/100-5/100X=532

95/100X=532

X= 532*100/95

X=560
