Greetings..!

Given are , SP = RS 810 and loss percent = 10%

By using formula , C.P = 100/100-loss % * SP  = 100/100-10*SP = 100/90*810 = Rs 900

Answer : Hence, CP is Rs 900.

Answer 2

Answer: The cost price of article is Rs. 900

Step-by-step explanation:

As given in question

Selling price (S.P.) =Rs. 810

Loss  = 10 %

Now Let cost price (C.P.) = x

As we know  C.P. - Loss = S.P.

 $x-\dfrac{10}{100} \times x=810\\\\\Rightarrow\dfrac{9x}{10} =810\\\\\Rightarrow x= \dfrac{810\times 10}{9} =900$

Hence, the cost price of article is Rs. 900
