Question

Q.10.When a commodity is sold for Rs 174, there is a loss of 25%.What is the cost price of the commodity ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

232

Step-by-step explanation:

Aim: To find cost price of the commodity.

Given:

- SP = Rs.174

- Loss % = 25%

Cost price formula:

$\frac{100}{100-LossPercent} * SP$

Applying this formula:

$\frac{100}{100-25} * 174$

= $\frac{100}{75} * 174$

= $\frac{4}{3} * 174$                  [Simplified $\frac{100}{75}$]

= 4 × 58                  [Cancelled 3 and 174]

= 232

Therefore, the cost price of the commodity is Rs. 232.

Answer 2

Given,

The selling price of the commodity= 174/-.

Loss percentage of the commodity= 25%.

To Find,

The cost price of the commodity.

Solution,

We can simply find the cost price by using the S.P and C.P formula.

Selling price= Cost price(1- loss%).

Putting the values we get,

174= C.P (1- 25/100).

174= C.P(75/100).

C.P= 232/-.

Hence, the cost price of the commodity is 232/-.
