$\boxed{ \huge \: \rm{ \gray{solution}}}$

The cost price of the carpet be = x

The carpet is sold at 8% loss their for the loss is

= (8/100×x)

➽ Now, SP = CP-loss

➽ 19320 - x -8/100

➽ 19320 - 100x/100-8/100

➽ 19320 -92/100 = 23x/25

➽ x = (25×19320/23)

= 483000/23

➽ 21000

➽ 21000-spent rupee 3000

➽ x = 18,000 Rs
