Question

sp= 1755, gain= 25/2 find the CP when​

Answer 1

Here the selling price and the gain is given

selling price = Rs. 1755

Gain = 25/2

= 12.5

We have to find out the cost price

When gain is added to cost price we get the selling price

Now, selling price = cost price + gain

Therefore, cost price = selling price - gain

= 1755 - 12.5

= 1742.5

Hence, the cost price will be Rs. 1742.5
