Question

By selling a
a dress for Rs 1760, a shopkeeper loses 12% Find its
cost price.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Selling price = Rs.1,760

Loss = 12%

Let Cost price be x

$loss = 12\% \: of \: x$

$= \frac{12x}{100}$

$= \frac{3x}{25}$

Cost price = SP + Loss

=> x = 1760 + 3x/25

=> x = (44000 +3x)25

=> 25 x = 44,000 +3x

=> 25x-3x = 44,000

=> 22x = 44,000

$= > x = \frac{44000}{22} \\ = > x = 2000$

Hence COST PRICE IS RS.2000
