Answer 1

Answer:

Rs.150000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the C.P of car be x.

Loss = 17%

S.P = 83% of C.P = 83/100x

According to Question,

83/100x + Rs.48000 = 115/100x

Rs.48000 = 115/100x - 83/100x

Rs.48000 = 32/100x

32x = Rs.48000 × 100

32x = Rs.4800000

x = Rs.150000

Hence, the cost price of car is Rs.150000
