Question

A man sold a calculator at a loss of 12℅. If selling price was Rs.7040, what was the cost price?​

Answer 1

Rs.6195.20

Explanation:

So first you need to find 12 % of Rs.7040. Thus:

`(12)/(100)` × 7040 = 844.80

Then you subtract 844.80 from 7040 from which you get Rs.6195.20

Rs.6195.20 was the cost price.
