❥︎ An old computer is sold for Rs 18,800 at a loss of 6%. Find the cost price.

$\huge{\orange{\boxed{\fcolorbox{lime}{indigo}{\color{aqua}AnSwEr}}}}$

$\Large\bf\pink{GiVeN,}$

• $\bf{\red{Selling\: Price}}\:(S.P)\:=\:Rs.18,800\:$

• $\bf{\red{\%\:Loss}}\:=\:6\%\:$

$\Large\bf\orange{FoRmUlA,}$

✞︎ To calculate cost price if selling price and loss percentage are given:

$\red\bigstar\:\:\bf\purple{Cost\:Price\:(C.P)\:=\:\dfrac{S.P\:\times\:100}{100\:-\:\%{loss}}\:}$

$\Large\bf\green{CaLcUlAtIoN,}$

$\longmapsto\:\:\rm{Cost\:Price\:(C.P)\:=\:\dfrac{18,800\:\times\:100}{100\:-\:6}\:}$

$\longmapsto\:\:\rm{Cost\:Price\:(C.P)\:=\:\dfrac{18,800\:\times\:100}{94}\:}$

$\longmapsto\:\:\rm{Cost\:Price\:(C.P)\:=\:200\:\times\:100\:}$

$\longmapsto\:\:\bf\blue{Cost\:Price\:(C.P)\:=\:Rs.20000\:}$

$\Large\bf\therefore$ The cost price is Rs.20000.
