Given
loss=15%
c.p=1400
s.p=?
we know that loss=c.p-s.p
s.p=((100-loss%)/100)*c.p
=((100-15)/100)*1400)
=(85/100)*1400
=1190
just remember s.p formula its easy.
loss=15%
c.p=1400
s.p=?
we know that loss=c.p-s.p
s.p=((100-loss%)/100)*c.p
=((100-15)/100)*1400)
=(85/100)*1400
=1190
just remember s.p formula its easy.

Listen... no formulas. So simple.
Loss=c.p-s.p we knw that,
Now 15%loss, so (100-15)=85%=0.85
For c.p of 1400,there is a loss 0.85,
s.p=1400*0.85. = 1190.
Loss=c.p-s.p we knw that,
Now 15%loss, so (100-15)=85%=0.85
For c.p of 1400,there is a loss 0.85,
s.p=1400*0.85. = 1190.

Loss = (CP - SP).
Loss% = [Loss*100]/CP.
15 = [(1400-x)*100]/1400.
21000 = 140000-100x.
100x = 140000-21000.
100x = 140000-21000.
100x =119000.
x = 1190.
Loss% = [Loss*100]/CP.
15 = [(1400-x)*100]/1400.
21000 = 140000-100x.
100x = 140000-21000.
100x = 140000-21000.
100x =119000.
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.

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

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%.

It's easy.
CP = 1400.
10% = 140.
5% = 70.
15% = 140+ 70 = 210.
Now use formula:
Gain = Sp - Cp.
= 1400 - 210.
= 1190.
CP = 1400.
10% = 140.
5% = 70.
15% = 140+ 70 = 210.
Now use formula:
Gain = Sp - Cp.
= 1400 - 210.
= 1190.

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

Using loss%=[loss*100/c.p.] find loss valve
after that use formula loss= c.p.-s.p.
you will get the answer.
after that use formula loss= c.p.-s.p.
you will get the answer.
