Question

How to find cp when sp and loss percentage is given?

Answer 1

Hey mate!

Here's your answer!!

⤵️Let me show you an example....

1⃣By selling an AC for $ 20,000, I lose 20%. What did I pay for it?


We have S.P. = $ 20,000 and loss = 20%.

Let c.p = $100

As there is loss % as 20 so s.p = 100 - 20 = $80

Let the c.p of the scooter be $x

Now make proportions as

100/x = 80/20,000

Cross multiply

80x = 100 . 20,000

80x = 2,000,000

So, x = 2,000,000/80

x = $ 25000

Hence the cost price of the AC is $25,000.
