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.

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.

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

Easy solution Man
C.P =1400
Loss% 15%
C.P*loss%
1400*15%=210
1400-210= 1190
C.P =1400
Loss% 15%
C.P*loss%
1400*15%=210
1400-210= 1190

LOSS(%)=(C.P-S.P)*100/C.P
15=(1400=S.P)*1400/1400
210=1400-S.P
S.P=1190 RS
15=(1400=S.P)*1400/1400
210=1400-S.P
S.P=1190 RS

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