Answer:

$8000/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

SP = $800.

Loss = 10%.

By SP formula,

SP = (1- r/100) × CP

=> 800 = (1- 10/100) × CP

=> 800 = (1- 1/10) × CP

=> 800 = (9/10) × CP

=> CP = 10/9 × 800

=> CP = 8000/9

Therefore, cost price is $8000/9.

Decimal form = $888.88 (Approx.).

Verification

CP = $8000/9.

Loss = 10%.

By SP formula,

SP = (1- r/100) × CP

=> SP = (1- 10/100) × 8000/9

=> SP = (1- 1/10) × 8000/9

=> SP = 9/10 × 8000/9

=> SP = $800.

We got SP from CP, therefore, our answer is correct.

Hence, verified.
