Question

This is a profit and loss question
By selling a jacket for Rs.729, Sunanda lost 10%. What was the cost price?
Step by step

Answer 1

Answer:

Loss% = (CP - SP)/CP x 100 (Where CP = Cost Price and SP = Selling Price).

Selling Price of Jacket = Rs. 729.

Loss% = 10%.

So:Loss% = (CP - SP)/CP x 100

10 = (CP - 729)/CP x 100

10CP = 100CP - 72900

10CP - 100CP = - 72900

- 90CP = - 72900

CP = 72900/90 = Rs. 810.

Ans: 810.
