Question

When a car is sold for rupees 70400 there is a loss of 2% what would be the cost price of the car? (Step by Step )​

Answer 1

Answer:

71837(approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

L%= (C.P-S.P)/C.P × 100,

2%= (C.P-70400)/C.P × 100,

2 C.P/100 = C.P-70400,

C.P/50 = C.P-70400,

70400 = C.P - C.P/50,

70400 = 50C.P/50 - C.P/50,

70400= 49C.P/50,

Therefore, C.P = 70400 × 50/49

C.P = 71837(approx.)
