Question

find C P if SP = rs 2640 and loss = 72rs​

Answer 1

we have given in the question

sp=2640

loss=72

also the formula for (sp= cp-loss)

by putting the value in equation we get

sp=cp-loss

$2640=cp-72$

$2640+72=cp$

so finally  we get

$cp=2712$

Answer 2

To find : cost price ( C.P )

Given : selling price  ( S.P ) = $Rs\ 2640$ and loss = $Rs\ 72$

Solution :

• According to question we have to find cost price i.e. C.P .Therefore to find we must know following formula -

• We know that, when (C . P) > (S . P) then it is a loss.
• Therefore, we have formula ,

          $Loss = ( C.P ) - ( S.P )$

         $C.P = Loss + S.P$

         $C.P = Rs 72 + Rs 2640$

                $= Rs 2712$

Hence,  cost price (C.P)  is $Rs 2712$.
