Question

On selling a table for Rs.1800. Ramesh loses 10%. For how much did he purchase it?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Loss percent = loss/CP × 100

10% = CP - SP / CP × 100

10 = [(CP - 1800)/CP] × 100

CP - 1800 = 10CP/100

CP = 1800+ CP/10

CP - (CP/10) = 1800

9CP/10 = 1800

CP = 1800 × 10/9

CP = 2000

THEREFORE, CP OF TABLE IS RS. 2000.
