Answer 2

Answer:

Loss%= 10%

C.P= Rs 1200

Step-by-step explanation:

S.P= Rs 1080

Loss= C.P/10

Loss%= loss/C.P × 100

         = C.P/10/C.P × 100

         = 100/10

Loss%= 10%

C.P= loss + S.P

C.P - C.P/10= 1080

10C.P - C.P/10= 1080

9C.P/10= 1080

C.P= 10 × 1080/9

C.P= 10 × 120

C.P= Rs 1200
