$\blue{\bold{\underline{\underline{Answer:}}}}$

$\green{\tt{\therefore{Cost\:price=1000\:rupees}}}$

$\orange{\bold{\underline{\underline{Step-by-step\:explanation:}}}}$

$\green{\underline \bold{Given :}}$

$\tt: \implies Selling \: price = 960 \: rupees$

$\tt: \implies Loss\% = 4\%$

$\red{\underline \bold{To \: Find:}}$

$\tt: \implies Cost \: price =?$

• Given Question

$\tt \circ \: Let \: cost \: price \: be \: x$

$\bold{As \: we \: know \: that}$

$\tt: \implies C.P- Loss = Selling \: price$

$\tt: \implies C.P- Loss\% \: of \: C.P= Selling \: price$

$\tt: \implies x - 4\% \: of \: x = 960$

$\tt: \implies x - 0.04x = 960$

$\tt: \implies 0.96x = 960$

$\tt: \implies x = \frac{960}{0.96}$

$\green{\tt: \implies x = 1000 \: rupees}$

$\green{\tt \therefore Cost \: price \: is \: 1000 \: rupees}$
