Answer 2

Answer:

hope this helps you

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling price of washing machine = ₹13,500

Loss percent = 20%

Let the cost price of washing machine be ₹x

Since, Loss = Loss% of C.P.

=> Loss = 20% of ₹x

=> Loss = (20/100) * ₹x = x/5

Therefore, S.P. = C.P. – Loss

=> 13500 = x – x/5

=> 13500 = 4x/5

=> 4x = 13500 * 5

=> x = (13500 * 5)/4

=> x = 3375 * 5

=> x = ₹16,875

Hence, the cost price of washing machine is ₹16,875
