${\green{\therefore{\text{Cost\;price=10,000\:rupees}}}}$

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

$\green{\underline \bold{\text{Given :}} } \\ \implies \text{Selling \: price(S.P) = 9250 rupees} \\ \\ \implies \text{Discount\% = 7.5\%} \\ \\ \red{\underline \bold{\text{To \: Find:}} }\\ \implies \text{Cost \: price(C.P) = ?}$

• According to given question :

$\text{Let \: C.P \: be \: x} \\ \\ \bold{Discount \: price : } \\ \implies Discount \: price = 7.5 \% \: of \: c.p \\ \\ \implies Discount \: price = \frac{7.5}{100} \times x \\ \\ \implies \text{Discount \: price = 0.075x} \\ \\ \bold{Selling \: price : } \\ \implies \text{C.P - Discount \: price = 9250 \: rupees} \\ \\ \implies x - 0.075x = 9250 \\ \\ \implies 0.925x = 9250 \\ \\ \implies x = \frac{9250}{0.925} \\ \\ \green{\implies\text{x = 10000}} \\ \\ \green{\therefore \text{Cost \: price = 10000 \: rupees}}$

Answer 2

Answer:

• C.P = 10,000 rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Cost price be x

Discount price = 7.5% of x

• Discount price = 0.075x

According to question

S.p + Discount price = C.p

• 9250 + 0.075x = x
• 9250 = 0.925x
• 9250/0.925 = x
• x = 10,000
