Answer 2

Answer:

Cost price of the item is Rs. 2666.66

Given:

S.P of an item is Rs. 2000

The loss percentage on it is 25%.

To find:

C.P of the item.

Solution:

$c.p \: = ( \frac{100}{100 - loss\%}) \times s.p$

$= > ( \frac{100}{100 - 25}) \times \: \: 2000$

$= > \frac{100}{75} \times 2000$

$= > 2666.66$

Hence, C.P of the item is Rs. 2666.66

Something more related to it:

$profit \: = s.p - c.p$

$loss \: = c.p - s.p$

$profit\% = \frac{profit}{c.p} \times 100$

$loss\% = \frac{loss}{c.p} \times 100$

$s.p(when \: profit\% \: is \: given) \\ = > ( \frac{100 + profit\%}{100}) \times c.p$

$s.p(when \: loss\% \: is \: given) \\ = > ( \frac{100 - loss\%}{100})\times c.p$

$c.p(when \: profit\% \: is \: given) \\ = > ( \frac{100}{100 + profit\%}) \times c.p$

$c.p(when \: loss\% \: is \: given) \\ = > (\frac{100}{100 - loss\%}) \times c.p$
