Question

Find the cost price, if : $\mathrm{S}.\mathrm{P}.$ is $₹200$ and loss is $₹50$.

Answer 1

Calculate the cost price

Given,

$\mathrm{S}.\mathrm{P}.=₹200$

$\mathrm{loss}=₹50$

Let cost price be denoted as $\mathrm{CP}$

Then, cost price, $\mathrm{CP}=\mathrm{SP}-\mathrm{loss}$

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow \mathrm{CP}=200-50 \\ \Rightarrow \mathrm{CP}=150 \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, the cost price is $₹150$
