Answer:
Let her purchase price CP = x Rs
SP = Rs23,000
L = 8%
Loss in % = (loss in Rs × 100)/ CP
=> 8 = (loss in Rs × 100)/x
=> 8x = loss in Rs × 100
=> loss in rupees = 8x/100
now SP = CP - loss in rupees
=> 23000 = x - 8x/100
=> 23000 = (100x - 8x)/100
=> 2300000 = 92x
=> 92x = 2300000
=> x = 2300000/92
=> x = Rs 25,000 /- Answer
