Question

find the cost price of an article which sold for rs4050 at a lossof 10 percent

​

Answer 1

HELLO MATE ..

Let the CP of the article be ₹x.

SP = ₹4050

Loss % (r) = 10%

SP = (1 - r/100) * CP

₹4050 = (1 - 10/100) * CP

CP = ₹4050 × 100 /90

= ₹ 4500

Profit % (r) = 8%

SP = ( 1 + r/100) × CP

= (1 +8/100) × ₹4500

= ₹ 4860

Ans. = The cost price of the article is ₹4500 .

And the new selling price is ₹4860.
