100% = 1400
10% = 140
5% = 70
85% = (140 x 8) + 70.
= 1190.
10% = 140
5% = 70
85% = (140 x 8) + 70.
= 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.

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

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.

CP=Rs1400.
Loss%=15%.
SP=?
SP=CP(100-Loss%/100).
SP=1400(100-15%/100),
= 1400*85/100,
SP= Rs1190.
Loss%=15%.
SP=?
SP=CP(100-Loss%/100).
SP=1400(100-15%/100),

Cp = 1400
Sp = ?
Loss = 15%
Loss = loss/cp * 100 = 210
Sp = cp -loss = 1190.
Sp = ?
Loss = 15%
Loss = loss/cp * 100 = 210
Sp = cp -loss = 1190.

CP = 1400;
Loss = 15% = 15/100,
= 15/100 * 1400 = 210,
The Selling price = c.p - loss = 1400 - 210 = 1190.
Loss = 15% = 15/100,
= 15/100 * 1400 = 210,
The Selling price = c.p - loss = 1400 - 210 = 1190.

Buying price = 1400.
Loss = 15% = 100-15 = 85.
Sp = (1400/100) * 85 = 1190.
Loss = 15% = 100-15 = 85.
Sp = (1400/100) * 85 = 1190.
