x=1050

Answer 2

Answer: Cost price of table is Rs. 1050.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Selling price of table = Rs. 987

Loss % = 6%

We need to find the Cost price of table.

Let x be the cost price of table.

Loss would be

$0.06x$

So, Cost price - Selling price = Loss

$x-987=0.06x\\\\x-0.06x=987\\\\0.94x=987\\\\x=\dfrac{987}{0.94}\\\\x=Rs.\ 1050$

Hence, Cost price of table is Rs. 1050.
