Question

find the cp if sp = 3990 and loss = 5 (its a x method problem)​

Answer 1

CP = 100/( 100-LOSS % )* SP

100/100-5 * 3990 = 100/95 * 3990

= 4200 = CP

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

S.P= Rs.3990

loss = 5%

Let c.p be x.

x = SP/(1-loss/100)

=> 3990/(1-5/100)

=> 3990/0.95

=> 4200

C.P= rs.4200
