Question

Find the cost price of the machine, if after
selling it for Rs. 600, Aanchal had a loss of 20%​

Answer 1

Answer:

The selling price of an article is given as Rs600 with the loss percent as 20%. Then the cost price of the article is,

C.P.=

100−loss%

100

×S.P.

=

100−20

100

×600

=

80

100

×600

=Rs750

Answer 2

CP formula for calculating loss =

C. P. = 100 / 100 - loss % ✖ S. P

100 / 100 - 20 ✖ 600

100 / 80 ✖ 600

750

So, C. P is rs. 750
