GIVEN :

=> A RETAILER SOLD A COMPUTER AT 5% LOSS

______________________________

LET,

=> THE CP OF THE COMPUTER :

=> 100X RS

______________________________

HE SUFFERED 5% LOSS

=> 5% OF CP

=> 5 / 100 * 100X

=> 5X RS

______________________________

SELLING PRICE :

=> COST PRICE - LOSS

=> 100 X RS - 5 X RS

=> 95 X RS

TO FIND :

______________________________

THE 10% PROFIT :

=> 10% OF COST PRICE

=> 10% OF 100X

=> 10 / 100 * 100X RS

=> 10X RS

______________________________

SELLING PRICE :

=> PROFIT + COST PRICE

=> 10X RS + 100X RS.

=> 110 X RS

______________________________

BY GIVEN CONDITION :

=> 95 X RS + 2880 RS = 110 X RS

=> 2880 RS = 110X RS - 95X RS

=> 2880 RS = 15X RS

=> X RS = 2880 RS / 15

=> X RS = 192 RS

______________________________

COST PRICE :

=> 100 X RS

=> 100 * 192 RS

=> 19,200 RS
