The correct Answer is:
To find the cost price (CP) when the selling price (SP) is Rs 1,128 and the loss is 6%, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between SP, CP, and loss. The formula to calculate the cost price when there is a loss is given by: \[ CP = \frac{100}{100 - \text{Loss \%}} \times SP \] ### Step 2: Substitute the values into the formula. Here, the selling price (SP) is Rs 1,128 and the loss percentage is 6%. We can substitute these values into the formula: \[ CP = \frac{100}{100 - 6} \times 1128 \] ### Step 3: Simplify the expression. Now, simplify the denominator: \[ 100 - 6 = 94 \] So, we can rewrite the equation as: \[ CP = \frac{100}{94} \times 1128 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the fraction. Now calculate the fraction: \[ \frac{100}{94} \approx 1.0638 \] ### Step 5: Multiply by the selling price. Now, multiply this by the selling price: \[ CP = 1.0638 \times 1128 \] ### Step 6: Perform the multiplication. Calculating this gives: \[ CP \approx 1200 \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the cost price (CP) is Rs 1,200. ---
