Question

A laser printer is sold for RS 12000 for a loss of 20%. What is the cost price of the laser printer.​​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

SP = 12,000 rupees

loss % = 20%

Let the cost price of laser printer is X .

loss =( X - 12,000 ) rupees

loss% = loss / X * 100

20 = (X-12,000)/X * 100

20/100 = 1 - 12,000/X

12,000/X = 1 - 20/100

12,000/X = 80/100

X = 12,00*100/8 = 1200 × 25/2

= 600*25 = 15,000 rupees

So , the cost price of laser printer is 15,000 rs
