Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct Question:-

Anjali lost 25% by selling her car for Rs.75000. Find the cost price of the car.

Given:-

• Selling price of the car = Rs.75000

• Loss% = 25%

To Find:-

• The cost price of the car.

Solution:-

SP of the car = Rs.75000

Loss% = 25%

The formula for finding the Cost price if SP and Loss% are given is:-

$\boxed{ \bf \leadsto CP = \frac{100}{100 - Loss\%} \times SP}$

$\sf \dashrightarrow CP = \dfrac{100}{100 -25} \times 75000$

$\sf \dashrightarrow CP = \dfrac{100}{75} \times 75000$

$\sf \dashrightarrow CP = 100 \times 1000$

$\sf \dashrightarrow CP = 1,00,000$

$\sf \therefore Cost \: Price \: of \: the \: car = Rs.100000$

Additional Information:-

To calculate Selling price (SP) if cost price (CP) and Profit% and Loss% are given:-

• $\sf SP= \dfrac{100 + Profit\%}{100 } \times CP$

• $\sf SP= \dfrac{100 - Loss\%}{100 } \times CP$

To calculate Cost price(SP) if Selling price (CP) and Profit% and Loss% are given:-

• $\sf CP = \dfrac{100}{100 + Profit\%} \times SP$

• $\sf CP = \dfrac{100}{100 - Loss\%} \times SP$
