Mathematics

Answer 1

Answer:

let the cp be x

sp =880

loss=12%

loss=12/100*x

=3x/25

atq

x-880=3x/25

25x-22000=3x

22x=22000

x=1000

so cp=1000

Answer 2

Answer :

• 1000

Given :

• Selling Price of the Table = 880
• Loss suffered = 12%

To find :

• the C.P or the Cost Price

Solution :

⇒ Let's find the Cost Price.

$\sf Cost Price = \dfrac{100 }{100 - Loss} \times Selling Price$

→ Here,

• Selling Price = 880
• Loss = 12

$\sf = \dfrac{100 }{100 - 12} \times 880$

$\sf = \dfrac{100}{88} \times 880$

$\sf = \dfrac{100 \times 880}{88}$

$\sf = \dfrac{88000}{88}$

$\sf = 1000$

• Therefore, the Cost price of the table is 1000.
