Question

What is the cost price of Scotty is sold for RS.13600 with a loss of 15% ?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price of scooty be ₹ x.

So,

CP = ₹ x

SP = ₹ 13600

Loss percent = 15%

Therefore,

Loss = CP - SP = x - 13600

$Loss \: percent = \frac{Loss}{CP} \times 100 \\ 15 = \frac{x - 13600}{x} \times 100 \\ 15x = 100x - 1360000 \\ 1360000 = 100x - 15x \\ 1360000 = 85x \\ x = \frac{1360000}{85} \\ x \: = 16000 \\ Thus, \: Cost \: price \: (CP) \: of \\ \: scooty \: is \: Rs. \: 16000.$
