In case of loss, C.P. = 100 × SP/[100 + Loss%]. Is the following statement true or false

Solution:

Loss % = - [(SP - CP)/CP] × 100

Loss%/100 = -SP/CP + 1

SP/CP = 1 - Loss%/100

SP/CP = [100 - Loss%]/100

CP = 100 × SP/[100 - Loss%]

Hence the given statement is False.

✦ Try this: If loss is 10% and SP 120 then the CP will be equal to _________?

CP = (100 × 120)/[100 - 20]

= 100 × 120/80

= Rs. 150
