Question

What is the formula of finding

the CP of an article

Answer 1

ANSWER

There are two cases to find cost price of an article

1) Gain

2) Loss

Now Cost price of article is

C.P = $\dfrac{100}{100\:+\:gain\%}\times SP$

C.P = $\dfrac{100}{100\:-\:loss\%}\times SP$

where,

C.P = cost price of article

S.P = selling price of article

Answer 2

Hey !!


(1) CP = S.P × 100 / 100 + Gain%




(2) C.P = S.P - Profit .



(3) CP = S.P × 100 / 100 - Loss%



(4) C.P = S.P + Loss.
