Answer 2

$\bf \red{ \underline{ \underline{given}}}$

• Loss=25°/•
• S.P= Rs.150

$\bf \red{ \underline{ \underline{to \: find \: out}}}$

Cost price, C.P=?

$\bf \red{ \underline{ \underline{formula \: used}}}$

$cp = \orange{(\frac{100}{100 - loss\%} \times sp)}$

$\bf \red{ \underline{ \underline{solution}}}$

$cp = \frac{100}{100 - 25} \times 150$

$cp = \frac{100}{75} \times 150$

$cp = \bold{ rs. \: 200}$
