Answer 1

Greetings..!!

Given :

Selling Price(S.P) = Rs 1596 and Gain percent = 12%

To find :

Cost Price(C.P)=??

Let the C.P be Rs x.

Then, according to question,

⇒ Gain  + C.P = S.P

⇒12 % of x + x = 1596

⇒12x / 100 + x = 1596

⇒112x / 100 = 1596

⇒112x = 1596*100

⇒x=159600/112

∴ x = 1425

Answer : Hence , Cost Price(C.P) is Rs 1425.
