Question

By selling an article for Rs. 940 a man incurs a loss of 6% what is its cost price?

A.

₹1250

B.

₹480

C.

₹1000

D.

₹960

Correct option is C

Given:

Selling Price of an article = ₹940

Loss = 6%

Formula Used:

Loss = CP - SP

Loss Percent =LossCP×100 \frac{Loss}{CP} \times 100​​

Solution:

Let the cost price be x

Then, loss = 6% of x = 0.06x

Selling Price = x- 0.06x = 0.94x

0.94x =940

x = 9400.94\frac{940}{0.94}​ = ₹1000

Alternative Method:

CP = SP ×\times100100Loss%\frac{ 100}{100 - Loss\%}

= 940×10094940 \times \frac{100}{94} ​= ₹1000
