Given :
A man loses 1/6 of its cost price by selling an almirah for ₹10,500.
To Find :
- What is its cost price?
Solution :
Let its cost price be x.
Then, loss = x/6
As we know,
⟼ Selling Price = Cost Price - Loss
Therefore,
⟼ 10500 = x - x/6
⟼ 10500 = 6x - x/6
⟼ 10500 = 5x/6
⟼ 10500 × 6 = 5x
⟼ 10500 × 6/5 = x
⟼ x = 2100 × 6
⟼ x = 12600
∴ Its cost price is ₹12,600.
