Question

Find the loss, if loss% is 14% and the selling price is Rs 5865.

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs.954.8

Step-by-step explanation:

CP = 5865.20×(100/86)

CP = 6820

loss = CP-SP

loss = 6820-5865.20 = 954.8

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the loss be 'x' and cost price be C.P

So, Loss = C.P - S.P

x = C.P - 5865

Loss% = (Loss/C.P) x 100

14 = (C.P -5865/ C.P) x 100

14/100 = C.P/C.P - 5865/C.P

1 - 14/100 = 5865/C.P

[(100-14)/100] ÷ 5865 = 1/C.P

C.P = (5865/86) x 100

C.P = 68.1976 x 100

C.P = 6819.76

Loss = C.P - S.P

= 6819.76 -5865

= 954.76
