Question

Rajat sold a watch for Rs 176. If Subirkakar loses 12% by selling the watch, then calculate how much money he bought the watch for.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN :-

SELLING PRICE (SP) OF WATCH = Rs.176

LOSS% = 12%

TO FIND :-

COST PRICE (CP) OF WATCH

SOLUTION :-

LOSS % = 12%

= > \frac{(cp - sp) \times 100}{cp} = 12 \\ \\ = > \: \frac{(cp - 176) \times 100}{cp} = 12 \\ \\ = > (cp - 176) \times 100 = 12cp \\ \\ = > 100cp - 17600 = 12cp \\ \\ = > 17600cp - 12cp = 1600 \\ \\ = > 17588cp = 1600 \\ \\ = > cp = \frac{17588}{88} = rs.199.8

∴ SUBIRKAKA BUYED THE WATCH FOR Rs.199.8
