Question

by selling a chair for rs1440,a shopkeeper loses 10%.at what price did he buy it

Answer 1

Let C.P. = x 

According to the question,

x - 10 % of x = 1440 

x - $\frac{10}{100}$× x =1440 

x - x/10  = 1440 

(10x - x) = 14400 

9x = 14400

x = 14400/9 

x =1600


Then, shopkeeper bought it for Rs 1600

Answer 2

Heya ✋

Let see your answer !!!!!

Given that

SP of a chair = ₹1,440

Loss = 10 %

CP = ?

Solution

CP = SP × 100 / 100 - Loss %

= 1,440 × 100 / 100 - 10

= 1,44,000/90

= ₹1,600
