17.If 30% loss on sp an article makes the trader to suffer a loss of rs 45 then find the sp ? (Rajat Sharma)
Ans.
Solution by Vikas Awasthi
Let SP=100
Loss
30% on Sp=70

100=142.86(CP)
142.86-100=42.86% actually loss
42.86=45
100=105
If 100 is SP den we hev to find CP
30% of SP is Loss
Then 100% of SP=CP
-----------------
Solution by Reea
Let SP=100 Loss
30% on Sp=70
70=100
100=142.86(CP)
142.86-100=42.86% actually loss
42.86=45
100=105
--------------
Shortcut by Rohit Tiwari
Loss/loss% = saleprice/100-loss
45/30 = sp/70
Sp = 105
