Question

Uzair sold a table for rupees 1332 at loss of 7.5 percent at what price did he buy it

Answer 1

Uzair sold a table for rupees 1332 at loss of 7.5 percent

Selling price = 1332

loss Percentage = 7.5%

we know that

cost price - cost price×loss percentage. = Selling price

Let the cost price be 'x'

x - 7.5%×x = 1332

x - 0.075x = 1332

0.925x = 1332

x = 1332/0.925

x = 1440 = purchase price
