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(%)=(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

C.P=1400
LOSS%=15%
S.P=(100-loss%)/100*C.P
Therefore S.P = (100-15)/100*1400
=85/100*1400
S.P=Rs1190
LOSS%=15%
S.P=(100-loss%)/100*C.P
Therefore S.P = (100-15)/100*1400
=85/100*1400
S.P=Rs1190

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

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.

Given C.P=Rs 1400
and Loss % = 15%
we have to find out S.P
we know that S.P=(100-loss%)/100*C.P
Therefore S.P = (100-15)/100*1400
=85/100*1400
S.P=Rs1190
and Loss % = 15%
we have to find out S.P
we know that S.P=(100-loss%)/100*C.P
Therefore S.P = (100-15)/100*1400
=85/100*1400
S.P=Rs1190

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
