Question
If selling an article for ₹ 820 causes 10% loss on the selling price, then find its cost price
Solution
Given that selling price (S.P) = ₹ 820
Loss % = 10%
As per formula S.P = `"C.P" xx ((100 - "loss"%))/100`
∴ Substituting in formula, we get
820 = `"C.P" xx ((100 - 10)/100)`
∴ C.P = `(820 xx 100)/90`
= 911
