​

Answer 1

Answer:

D) 332777.77

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's consider the CP to be x Rs.

According to problem,

x - 10% of x (loss) = 299500 Rs (SP).

=> x - $\frac{10x}{100}$ = 299500

=> x - $\frac{x}{10}$ = 299500

=> $\frac{9x}{10}$ = 299500

=> 9x = 2995000

=> x = $\frac{2995000}{9}$

=> x = 332777.77
