Usman sold a can of oil for Rs.7786 at a loss of 15%. Calculate his cost price.

Rs.9136

Rs.9160

Rs.9144

None of these

To find the cost price (CP) of the can of oil, we can use the formula:

CP = (Selling Price × 100) / (100 - Loss Percentage)

Given Selling Price (SP) = Rs. 7786 and Loss Percentage = 15%,

CP = (7786 × 100) / (100 - 15)

= (7786 × 100) / 85

= 7786 × 20 / 17

= 9160
