Answer 2

Given:

Selling Price = ₹. 450/-

Loss = 10%

Selling Price = Cost Price - Loss

Selling Price = Cost Price - 10% of Cost Price

Selling Price = Cost Price * ( 1 - 10%)

Selling Price = Cost Price * ( 1 - (10/100))

Selling Price = Cost Price * (100 - 10/100)

Selling Price = Cost Price * (90/100)

Selling Price = Cost Price * (9/10)

Cost Price = Selling Price * (10/9)

Cost Price = 450 * (10/9)

Cost Price = 50 * 10 = 500

Therefore Cost Price = ₹. 500/- ——> Answer
