Question

S.P. = 264 loss percent=12% find C.P​

Answer 1

300.

Explanation:

Let the CP be x, then:

264 = x - 0.12x

0.88x = 264

x = 264/0.88

= 300.

Answer 2

Rs. 300.

Explanation:

In order to find the cost price (C.P.) when the selling price (S.P.) and loss percentage are given, we can use the following formula:

`\sf C.P. = (S.P. \cdot 100 )/(100 - loss\% )`

In this case,

S.P. = Rs 264 and loss percentage = 12%.

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

`\sf C.P. = (264 \cdot 100 )/(100 - 12)`

`\sf C.P. = (26400 )/(88)`

`\sf C.P. = 300`

Therefore, the cost price of the item is Rs. 300.
