Aditya Nandy · Accepted Answer

Answer:
Loss% = (CP - SP)/CP x 100 (Where CP = Cost Price and SP =
Selling Price)
Selling Price of Jacket = Rs 729
Loss% = 10%
So:Loss% = (CP - SP)/CP x 100
10 = (CP - 729)/CP x 100
10CP = 100CP - 72900
10CP - 100CP = - 72900
- 90CP = - 72900
CP = 72900/90 = Rs 810
Ans: 810
