_______________________

Given :-

• By selling a jacket for RS 729, sunanda lost 10%.

To find :-

• The cost price.

Salutation :-

Let the cost price be Rs. x

10% of Rs. x is x × 10 / 100 = Rs. x / 10

•°• According to the question ,

x - x / 10 = 729

( 10x - x ) / 10 = 729

9x / 10 = 729

x = 729 × ( 10 / 9 )

x = 81 × 10

x = 810

•°• The cost price ( x ) was Rs. 810
