Answer 2

Correct Question.

If S.P is Rs. 2000 and Loss is 20%. Find the Cost price.

___________

Before, finding the answer. Lets find out on how we can find the answer.

• For finding the Cost price when the Profit percent and Selling price is given must use the formula of :

$\sf \dfrac{s.p \times 100}{100 + profit}$

• Where, we must first multiply the Selling price with 100.
• And then we must add profit with 100.
• At last, we must divide both.

____________

Given :

• Selling price = Rs. 2000
• Profit = 20%

To find :

• Cost Price

Solution :

$\sf C.P = \dfrac{s.p \times 100}{100 + profit}$

$\sf = \dfrac{2000 \times 100}{100 + 20}$

$\sf = \dfrac{200000}{120}$

$\sf = 1666.6$

Hence, the Cost Price is Rs. 1666.6.
