    Solution

    ATQ, Given: SP = Rs.24,400 Loss = 60% of CP Hence, SP = 40% of CP We can write this as: SP = (40/100) ├Ч CP To find the cost price, rearrange the equation to solve for CP: CP = SP / (40/100) CP = Rs.24,400 / (40/100) CP = Rs.24,400 / 0.4 CP = Rs.61,000 The cost price of the gold ring was Rs.61,000.
