It's very easy method.
85 - 18700.
115 - ?
115*18700/85 = 25300.
85 - 18700.
115 - ?
115*18700/85 = 25300.

Hi guys,
I have sum confusion, Please help me out.
If we solve this ques by the formula which is given in important formula then:
C.P = {100/(100-15)}*18700 = 22000.
So,
S.P = {(100+15)/100}*22000 = 335.
So why the answer is coming different.

Sold = 18700.00.
Loss% = 15%.
So CP = 100/100-%loss*SP (formula).
100/100-15%*18700.
100/85%*18700.
100*100/85*18700.
10000/85*18700 = 22000.
22000*15%.
22000*15/100 = 3300.
22000+3300 = 25300.
Loss% = 15%.
So CP = 100/100-%loss*SP (formula).
100/100-15%*18700.
100/85%*18700.
100*100/85*18700.
10000/85*18700 = 22000.
22000*15%.
22000*15/100 = 3300.
22000+3300 = 25300.
