Answer 1

Answer :-

Cost price of the jug is Rs.192

Step-by-step explanation :-

Given :

On selling a jug for Rs.168, a man loses 1/7 of his outlay.

To find :

Cost price of the jug ?

Solution :

Selling price (S.P) = Rs.168

1/7 of the (S.P) = 168 × 1/7

• Rs.24

∴ Amount the man loses = Rs.24

Cost price (C.P) = S.P + Loss

• 168 + 24
• Rs.192

∴ Cost price of the jug is Rs.192
