Question

Ravi sold a scooter at a loss of 5 %. If the selling price of the scooter is Rs. 1900, find the

cost price of the scooter?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let, the required C.P be Rsx

here,actual loss =5% of CP

5/100×Rsx/100

Rsx/20

Now,

CP=SP+loss

or,x=Rs1900+Rsx/20

or,x=x/20=Rs 1900

or,19x/20= Rs 1900

or,x=20×Rs1900/19

or,x=Rs2000

so, the required C.P is Rs 2000
