Question

find the cp when sp is 1755 and gain is 121/2​

Answer 1

Answer:

₹ 1560

Step-by-step explanation:

SP = ₹ 1755, gain = 12(1/2) %

Gain = 12(1/2) = 25/2

By using the formula, we have:

CP = ₹ {(100/ (100 + gain %)) × SP}

= {(100/ (100 + (25/2))) × 1755}

= {(100/ ((200 + 25)/2)) × 1755}

= {(200/ 225) × 1755}

= {351000/225}

= ₹ 1560
