Step-by-step explanation: the cost of 10 chairs is x.
the cost 16 chairs is also x. 10x = 16x
4x is loss.
Profit or Gain = Selling price – Cost price. Loss = Cost price – Selling price. Profit Percentage = [Profit/C.P.]×100. Percentage Loss = [Loss/C.P.]×100.
In simple way, we can say that sp- cp[ when it is a gain], cp -sp[ when it is a loss]. here it is a loss as well as a gain. so do both according to the formula
![x^{m/n}=\sqrt[n]{x^{m}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x%5E%7Bm%2Fn%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bx%5E%7Bm%7D%7D%20)
(m^(2/3))^(1/2)=m^(2/6)=m^(1/3)
m^(1/3)=∛m
last one (rightmost)
