Answer 2

Answer:

Rupees 720

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Selling price of chair = 657

Loss % = $8\frac{3}{4}\%=\frac{35}{4}\%$

Let the cost price of the chair​ be x.

Selling price = Cost - loss

$x-x\times \frac{35}{4}\times \frac{1}{100}=657$

$x-\frac{7}{80}x=657$

$\frac{80-7}{80}x=657$

$\frac{73}{80}x=657$

Multiply both sides by $\frac{80}{73}$.

$\frac{73}{80}x\times \frac{80}{73}=657\times \frac{80}{73}$

$x=720$

Therefore, the cost price of the chair​ is rupees 720.
