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

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.

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%.

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

Let x be the selling price then,
{(1400-x)/1400}*100 = 15.
Hence x = 1190.
{(1400-x)/1400}*100 = 15.
Hence x = 1190.

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.

CP = 1400,
LOSS = 15%,
15% of 1400 = 210,
Therfore SP = 1400-210 = 1190.
LOSS = 15%,
15% of 1400 = 210,
Therfore SP = 1400-210 = 1190.

As we are seeing here:
The cost price, loss% is mentioned.
Now, we need to find the loss.
So,the formula is : loss/1400 = 15/100.
Now we take the 1400 to the other side a division in LHS becomes multiple in RHS
Now, loss = 15/100 * 1400 = 210.
Now we got the loss hence we need to subtract the loss from C.P.
So we get the answer as = 1190.
Thank you.

CP = 1400 and loss =15%.
= (1400 * 15)/100,
= 210.
Therefore, Sp = 1400 - 210,
= 1190.
= (1400 * 15)/100,
= 210.
Therefore, Sp = 1400 - 210,
= 1190.
