c.p = 1400
Loss% = 15%.
s.p = c.p*(1-loss%/100)=>1190.
Loss% = 15%.
s.p = c.p*(1-loss%/100)=>1190.

Cp = 1400.
1400 ÷ 100% = 14 (1%means 14 of 1400).
14×15 = 210,
1400 - 210 = 1190.
1400 ÷ 100% = 14 (1%means 14 of 1400).
14×15 = 210,
1400 - 210 = 1190.

Loss 15%.
100----->85,
100 = 1400,
1 = 14.
85 × 14 = 1190.
100----->85,
100 = 1400,
1 = 14.
85 × 14 = 1190.

15% of 1400.
10% of 1400 = 140.
5% of 1400 = 70.
140 + 70 = 210.
15% of 1400 = 1400 - 210(since loss) .
= 1190.
10% of 1400 = 140.
5% of 1400 = 70.
140 + 70 = 210.
15% of 1400 = 1400 - 210(since loss) .
= 1190.

85% = (140 x 8) + 70.
= 1190.
10% = 140
5% = 70
85% = (140 x 8) + 70.

Simple.
Cp - 1400
CP - 100 %
15 % loss, sell price per cent 85%.
1400 = 100%.
140. =. 10%.
70 = 5%.
(140 x 8 ) + 70 = 85%.
1190 = 85%.
Cp - 1400
CP - 100 %
15 % loss, sell price per cent 85%.
1400 = 100%.
140. =. 10%.
70 = 5%.
(140 x 8 ) + 70 = 85%.
1190 = 85%.

CP = 1400.
SP = ?
Loss = 15%.
SP = (100-Loss%/100)*CP.
SP = 1190.
SP = ?
Loss = 15%.
SP = (100-Loss%/100)*CP.
SP = 1190.

From the given data,
Loss% =15.
CP = 1400.
Since, Loss% = (Loss / CP)*100.
=> 15 = (Loss / 1400)*100,
=> 15 = (Loss / 14),
Therefore, Loss = 210,
Now, we know that,
Loss = CP - SP.
=> SP = CP - Loss.
=> SP = 1400 - 210,
Therefore, SP = 1190.
Loss% =15.
CP = 1400.
Since, Loss% = (Loss / CP)*100.
=> 15 = (Loss / 1400)*100,
=> 15 = (Loss / 14),
Therefore, Loss = 210,
Now, we know that,
Loss = CP - SP.
=> SP = CP - Loss.
=> SP = 1400 - 210,
Therefore, SP = 1190.

Sp = ?
Loss = 15%
Loss = loss/cp * 100 = 210
Sp = cp -loss = 1190.
Sp = ?
Loss = 15%
Loss = loss/cp * 100 = 210
Sp = cp -loss = 1190.

Assume;
100% = 1400,
85% = x,
Cross multiply above two and you will get 1190.
100% = 1400,
