Question

when a commodity is sold for Rs.34.80 there is a loss of 25% what is the cost price of the commodity

Answer 1

let the cost price of commodity be'Rs x'

Given , loss = 25 %

Find the loss :
-------------------
loss = 25 % of x = Rs 0.25 x

selling price of commodity = Rs 34.80

Find the cost price:
---------------------------
cost price - loss = selling price

x - 0.25 x = 34.80

0.75 x = 34.80

75 x/ 100 = 3480 / 100

x = 3480 /75

x = Rs 46.4

therefore,

the cost price of commodity was Rs46.4

Answer : cost price = Rs 46.4
