Answer 2

In context to question asked,

We have to determine the value of CP

As per question,

We have,

SP = 14000

Loss % = 12.5%

As we know that,

The formula for finding CP in term of SP will be,

$SP = \frac{100-\%Loss}{100}\times Loss$

So, for determining the value of SP we will put the value given in the question in above expression,

Thus we will get,

$14000 = \frac{100-12.5}{100}\times CP\\=>CP = \frac{14000 \times 100}{87.5}\\=>CP =Rs.\:16000$

Hence, CP of the item will be Rs. 16000
