Aptitude - Profit and Loss - Discussion

C.p = 1400.
Loss = 15%.
C.p/100 = S.p/85.
[C.p cycle taken as 100% in that 15% loss by selling is 85]. 1400/100 = s.p/85.
S.p = 14 * 85 = 1190.

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

CP = 1400,
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.

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

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

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

CP = 1400;
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.
