please give me the right answer in process​

Answer 1

631.75

Explanation:

here,

Selling price of watch ( S.P.)=Rs 665

loss percentage (L%)=5%

The cost price (C.P.)=?

Now,

Cost Price(C.P.)= S.P. - L% of S.P.

=Rs 665 - 5% of 665

=Rs 665 - 5÷ 100*665

=Rs 665 - 33.25

=Rs 631.75

The cost price of watch is Rs 631.75
