Question

by selling a refrigerator for rs15000 , i loss 12% what did i pay for it?

Answer 1

Answer:

17045.45 Rs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The selling price of the refrigerator ( S.P ) = 15000 Rs

And the loss percentage = 12 %

Let the cost price of the refrigerator ( C.P ) = 100 unit

Then the selling price = 100 - 12 = 88 unit

S.P = 88 unit

15000 Rs = 88 unit

1 unit = 15000 / 88 Rs

1 unit = 170.4545

100 unit = 17045.45 Rs

Hence the cost price = 17045.45 Rs
