Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

sp= 180*90/100= 162

hope it helps

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the cost price be “X”

& Profit be “0.1X”

So, Selling Price =X+0.1X=1.1X

Revised Selling price = (1.1X-40)

loss of 10%=( 0.9X-X)= -0.1X

Now as per the question stated:

Revised selling price -Cost price= loss of 10% i.e.,

[(1.1X-40)-X]= -0.1X

0.1X+0.1X=40

X=40/0.2=200

NOW YOU CAN CHECK THE EQUATION

BY PUTTING VALUE OF “X” WHICH GOES LIKE THIS:

[{(1.1 x 200)-40}-200]= (-0.1x200)

[{220-40}-200]=-20

[180-200]= -20

-20 =-20

implying that

LHS=RHS

THUS THE COST PRICE IS RS 200 & ORIGINAL SELLING PRICE IS 220.

BUT IF YOU SELL THE PRODUCT AT ITS

REVISED SELLING PRICE THAT IS RS 180

THEN YOU SUFFER THE LOSS OF RS 20

ONLY.
