Answer 1

Answer:

6100 Becuase Cp-Sp+loss ⊂(・▽・⊂)

Answer 2

Given:

Selling Price (S.P.) of refrigerator = ₹5,875

Loss incurred = ₹225

To find:

Cost Price (C.P.) of refrigerator.

Solution:

We know that,

Loss = C.P. - S.P.

(Since when we have a loss, C.P. is greater than S.P.)

225 = C.P. - 5,875

225+5,875 = C.P.

₹6,100 = C.P.

Verification:

Now we now that C.P. of refrigerator is of ₹6,100.

So,

Loss = C.P. - S.P.

225 = 6,100-5,875

225 = 225

LHS = RHS

Hence Verified!

Final answer:

The Cost Price of refrigerator is ₹6,100.

What is Cost Price (C.P.)?

This is the price at which an article is purchased.

What is Selling Price (S.P.)?

This is the price at which an article is sold off.

If,

☆C.P.>S.P.

then it is a loss.

☆C.P.<S.P.

then it is a profit/gain.

☆C.P.=S.P.

then it is neither a loss nor a profit.
