Answer 1

Hello friend
--------------------

Given:

S.P = 1700 Rs.

Loss% = 15%

To find,

C.P = ???

So, I am giving to you a simple formula

To finding the C.P. when loss percent is given.


C.P = 100/100-Loss%*S.P

C.P = 100/100 - 15 * 1700

C.P = 100/85*1700

C.P = 170000/85

C.P = 2000 Rs.

Therefore the cost price of the cycle was Rupees 2000.

I hope this will helps you...........

Thanks.....

Answer 2

Given - Selling price and lost percentage

Find - Cost price

Solution - Cost price = $\frac{100}{100 - loss\%} \times sp$

Keep the values in formula to find the cost price.

Cost price = $\frac{100}{100 - 15} \times 1700$

Performing subtraction and multiplication to find the cost price.

Cost price = $\frac{100 \times 1700}{85}$

Cost price = Rupees 2000

So, cost price of cycle was Rupees 2000.
