Question : 36

Total: 40

Solution:

Concept:

A loss means the selling price is less than the cost price.

So the selling price represents

90\%

of the cost price when the loss is

10\%

Explanation:

Let the cost price be

100\%

Loss

= 10\%

, so selling price

= 100\% - 10\% = 90\%

Given selling price

=

GH₵ 200.00.

Thus,

90\%

of the cost price equals GH₵ 200.00.

Cost price

= \frac{200.00 \times 100}{90} = 222.22

Therefore, the cost price is GH₵ 222.22.

Answer:

D. GH₵ 222.22
