Question

selling a T.V for Rs 73,920 a dealer suffers a loss of 4%. Find the cost price of TV.​

Answer 1

Answer:

loss = 2956.8

CP= 70963.2

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

${\underline{\sf {\dag}Given\pink{\bigstar}}}$

• Selling price of a T.V. (S.P.) = Rs. 73920
• Loss percent suffered (R)= 4%

${\underline {\underline {\sf{\dag}Find\pink{\bigstar}}}}$

• The cost price of the T.V. = ?

Let us do this by using formula

${\underline {\underline {\sf{\dag}Formula\pink{\bigstar}}}}$

${ \boxed{\sf{ \purple{S.P. \rightarrow(1 - \dfrac{r}{100}cp)\purple{\bigstar}}}}}$

${\underline {\underline {\sf{\dag}Solution\pink{\bigstar}}}}$

Putting the value in the formula

$\sf {\huge \therefore} \: 73920 = (1 - \dfrac{4}{100})c.p. \implies \dfrac{24}{25}$

Now, flipping the Numerator as Denominator and Denominator as Numerator because of the equal sign.

$\sf \: \implies c.p. = \dfrac{25} {\cancel{24}} \times { \cancel{73920}}$

$\sf \implies \: c.p. = 3080 \times 25 \rightarrow77000$

$\sf{\huge \therefore} \: The \: C.P. \: of \: the \: T.V. \: was \: Rs. \: 77000\green{\bigstar}$
