$\huge\sf\pink{\underline{\underline{ANSWER:-}}}$

For a Scooty -

Given :-

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:$$\sf{loss \: \% = 12}$

$\: \: \: \:$$\sf{Selling \: price = 2200 \: Rs}$

To Find :-

$\: \: \:$$\sf{Cost \: price \: of \: the \: Scooty = ?}$

Usable Formulas :-

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \:$$\sf{Loss = Cost \: price - Selling \: price}$

$\: \: \:$$\sf{Loss \: \% =\dfrac{Loss}{Cost \: price}\times 100}$

Solution :-

Firstly ,

$\: \: \: \:$$\sf{Loss = Cost \: price - 2200}$

Now ,

$\sf{Loss \: \% =\dfrac{(C.P. - 2200)}{C.P.}\times 100}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \:$$\sf{12 = (1 - \dfrac{2200}{C.P.})\times 100}$

$\: \: \: \:$$\sf{\dfrac{12}{100} = (1 - \dfrac{2200}{C.P.})}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \:$$\sf{\dfrac{3}{25} = (1 - \dfrac{2200}{C.P.})}$

$\: \:$$\sf{\dfrac{2200}{C.P.} = (1 - \dfrac{3}{25})}$

$\: \:$$\sf{\dfrac{2200}{C.P.} = \dfrac{22}{25}}$

$\: \:$$\sf{\dfrac{C.P.}{2200} = \dfrac{25}{22}}$

$\sf{Cost \: price = \dfrac{25}{22}\times 2200}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:$$\sf{=25\times 100}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:$$\sf{= 2500 \: Rs}$

Cost price of the scooty is 2500 Rs.
