Answer 2

Answer:-

Cost price = ₹25

Step - by - step explanation:-

Given :-

Selling price (SP)= ₹ 22

Loss = 12%

Find :-

Cost price( CP) = ?

Solution:-

Let ,cost price (CP) = x

We know that ,

Selling price= cos price - loss

22 = x - 12% of x

$→ \bf{22 = x - \frac{12}{100} x} \\ \\ →\bf{22 = \frac{100x - 12x}{100} } \\ \\ → \bf{2200 = 88x} \\ \\ →\: \bf{ x = \frac{2200}{88} } \\ \\ → \boxed{\bf{x = 25}}$

Hence,

Cost price = ₹ 25
