Answer 2

Given:-

• S.P = 1600
• Loss = 400

⠀

To find:-

• Cost price.

⠀

Solution:-

☆Formula used:-

${\dag}\:{\underline{\boxed{\sf{\purple{Cost\: price = Selling\: price + Loss}}}}}$

⠀

$\tt\longmapsto{C.P = S.P + Loss}$

⠀

$\tt\longmapsto{C.P = 1600 + 400}$

⠀

$\sf\longmapsto{\boxed{\red{Rs.2000}}}$

⠀

Hence,

• the cost price is Rs.2000.
