Answer 2

GIVEN :–

• S.P. (Selling price) = 851 rs.

• Loss = 8 %

TO FIND :–

• C.P.(cost price) = ?

SOLUTION :–

• We know that –

$\\ \longrightarrow \: \: \large {\boxed{ \sf selling \: \: price = (cost \: \: price) \: \pm \: profit/Loss \: \: money}}$

• Let's suppose Cost price = x

• First Let's find Loss money –

$\\ \implies \large \sf loss \: \: price = 8\% \: \: of \: \: cost \: \: price$

$\\ \implies \large \sf loss \: \: price = \dfrac{(x) \times (8)}{100}$

$\\ \implies { \boxed{ \large \sf loss \: \: price = \dfrac{8x}{100} }}$

• Now Using formula –

$\\ \implies \large \sf 851 = x \: - \dfrac{8x}{100}$

$\\ \implies \large \sf 851 =\dfrac{92x}{100}$

$\\ \implies \large \sf x =\dfrac{(100)(851)}{92}$

$\\ \implies{ \boxed{ \large \sf cost \: \: price = 925 \: rs}}$
