Question

find the CP with full process S.P=12, loss =4%​

Answer 1

Answer:

11.52

Step-by-step explanation:

S.P-((S.P/100)*loss=CP

12-((12/100)*4)=12-(0.12*4)

12-0.48=11.52

Answer 2

Before, finding the answer let's find out on how we can find the answer.

Formula for C.P if Loss is there :

$\sf \: c.p = \dfrac{s.p \times 100}{100 - loss }$

_____________________________

Given :

• S.P = 12
• Loss = 4%

To find :

• Cost price

Solution :

$\sf CP = \dfrac{SP \times 100}{100 - loss}$

$\sf = \dfrac {12 \times 100}{100 - 4}$

$\sf = \dfrac {1200}{96}$

$\sf = 12.5$

Hence, the Cost Price is 12.5

• Formula for C.P if Loss is there :

$\sf \: c.p = \dfrac{s.p \times 100}{100 - loss }$

• Formula for C.P if Profit is there :

$\sf \: c.p = \dfrac{s.p \times 100}{100 + profit}$

NOTE :

• The Cost price should be more than the Sold price if it is loss.
• The Cost price should be less than the Sold Price if it is Profit.
