Before loss C.P = 1610.
15%loss in C.P 1400.
1400*15/100 = 210.
S.P = 1400-210 = 1190.
15%loss in C.P 1400.
1400*15/100 = 210.
S.P = 1400-210 = 1190.

hello guys, there is a simple way to solve profit n loss questions in few seconds . u just need to remember a simple formula . i.e
factor formula = F*C=S, here( F= 1+profit/100 Or 1-loss/100).
Now in this question simply apply this and you will get the answer.
Given that C.P = 1400.
Loss = 15%
S.P= ?
Solution: 1-15/100*1400 = 1190.
F*C = S.
In this way you will be able to solve question in 1 line :).

Just apply factor formula and u'll be able to solve many questions in seconds. So the formula is.
F*C = S here (F= 1+ profit/100 or 1-loss/100).
So C. P=1400.
Profit=15%.
S. P=?
Apply formula = F*C=S.
1-15/100 = 0. 85.
0. 85*1400 = 1190 here is your S. P thats it :).
F*C = S here (F= 1+ profit/100 or 1-loss/100).
So C. P=1400.
Profit=15%.
S. P=?
Apply formula = F*C=S.
1-15/100 = 0. 85.
0. 85*1400 = 1190 here is your S. P thats it :).

100%--------*14-------> 1400.
85%---------*14-------> 1190.
So answer is 1190.
85%---------*14-------> 1190.
So answer is 1190.

Simple. C.P = 1400;
15%of C.P = 210;
S.P = 1400-210 = 1190;.
15%of C.P = 210;
S.P = 1400-210 = 1190;.

1400 FOR 15% RS. 210.
Less 1400-210 = 1190 that's all.
Less 1400-210 = 1190 that's all.

When loss 15% means, 100=(15) then 1400=(14*15)=210(loss), So sp = (cp-loss) = 1400-210 = 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.
