Answer 2

Hey mate!

Here is your answer

According to the question,

Selling price of washing machine,

SP = Rs 13, 500

Also, Loss % = 20 %

Let us assume the cost price of the machine be x

Therefore,

Loss = 20 % of x

loss = 20/100 x

Hence,

Cost price – Loss = Selling price

x – 20/100 × x = 13500

x – 1/5 × x = 13500

5x - 5 /5 = 13500

4/5 x = 13500

x = 13500 × 5/4

= 3375 × 5

= Rs 16875

Therefore, the cost price of the washing machine is Rs. 16875
