Answer 2

$\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer :-}}}$

$\textbf{The Cost Price is Rs 900}$

$\textbf{\underline{\underline{Explanation :-}}}$

$\textsf{\underline{\underline{Given :}}}$

Selling Price = Rs.873

Loss % = 3%

$\textsf{\underline{\underline{To find :}}}$

The cost price

$\textsf{\underline{\underline{Solution :}}}$

Whenever a Loss is occurred :

CP > SP

Cost Price =

$\tt{\implies \: CP = \dfrac{100}{(100 - loss\%)} \times SP }$

$\tt{\implies \: CP = \dfrac{100}{100 - 3} \times 873}$

$\tt{\implies \: CP = \dfrac{100}{97} \times 873 }$

$\tt{\implies \: CP = \dfrac{87300}{97} }$

$\tt{\implies \: CP = 900}$

$\boxed{\tt{Cost \: Price = rs.900}}$

$\therefore$$\textbf{The Cost Price is Rs 900}$

$\textbf{\underline{\underline{Verification :-}}}$

$\tt{\implies \: 900 = \dfrac{100}{100 - 3} \times 873}$

$\tt{\implies \: 900 = \dfrac{100}{97} \times 873 }$

$\tt{\implies \: 900 = \dfrac{87300}{97} }$

$\tt{\implies \: 900 = 900}$

$\boxed{\tt{LHS = RHS }}$

$\therefore$The Cost price is Rs 900.
