If a man reduces the selling price of a fan from 400 to 380 his loss increases by 20% .What is the cost price of fan

• increase in loss=20%
  consider loss is x initially, so final loss will increase by .2x which is equal to 20.
  .2x=20
  x=100,
  so total cost =selling price +loss=400+100=500.
  so ans is 500.

• when SP=400-> loss=x
  when SP=380-> lose=x+.2x
  -------------------------
  20= .2x=>x=100
  total loss=100
  initial cost=400+loss=>400+100=500

• ans is 100........let the cost price be ."X"then 1st (X-400)/X*100=K...let it be eqton '1'....let K be the loss wen he sell it 4r 400 rs ......then the loss at price of 380 is........................(X-380)/X*100=K+20......then 4rm eqtion 1 we have the value of K......so by substitution the value of K we get X=100.............

• Cost price is 100. Loss is -300% when SP=400 and -280% when SP=380. Actually, there is profit and profit decreases, rather than loss increases, though logically, they are equivalent.

• we know the formula, c.p=[100/(100-loss)]*s.p, so, ans is [100/80]*400= 500

• Hello everyone
  
  sp=380
  actual sp =400
  difrnc = 20
  2% = 20
  1% = 10
  100% = 1000
  
  cp = 1000(Answer)

  if sp=380,cp=475

• x be loss % when sold by 400
  so C.P =40000/100-x....(1)
  x+20 is loss % when sold at 380
  so C.P =38000/80-x....(2)
  1=2
  2000x=600000
  x=600

• (cp-400)/cp*100=x;-1
  (cp-380)/cp*100=x+20;-2
  by 1 and 2
  cp=100
