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.

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

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.

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.
Loss (%) = 15%.
SP = (100-loss(%)/100) * cp.
= (100 - 15/100) * 1400,
= 1190.
Loss (%) = 15%.
SP = (100-loss(%)/100) * cp.
= (100 - 15/100) * 1400,
= 1190.

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

Loss%= loss/cp*100
loss = loss%*cp/100
= 15*1400/100
= 210
selling price = cp-loss
= 1400-210
= 1190
loss = loss%*cp/100
= 15*1400/100
= 210
selling price = cp-loss
= 1400-210
= 1190

Its very simple.
14*15 = 210.
1400-210 = 1910.
14*15 = 210.
1400-210 = 1910.

Here,
c.p.= rs 1400
loss % = 15%
s.p. = ?
Now,
loss amount = 15/100 * 1400
= rs 210.
s.p. = rs 1400 - rs 210
= rs 1190.
c.p.= rs 1400
loss % = 15%
s.p. = ?
Now,
loss amount = 15/100 * 1400
= rs 210.
s.p. = rs 1400 - rs 210
= rs 1190.

1400*15/100 = 210.
Then 1400-210 = 1190.
Then 1400-210 = 1190.
