Answer:
15000
Step-by-step explanation:
Let price of sofa be x
She got 20% discount
so she spent
x - x20% = x - (x/5)=4x/5
She spents 4x/5
She saved 1000 ruppes with a discount of 25%
she spent
x - x25% = x - (x/4) = 3x/4
She spents 3x/4
She saved 1000 rupees so
(4x / 5) - (3x/4) = 1000
(16x - 15x)/20 = 1000
x/20 = 1000
x = 20,000
She got 25% discount on the sof so
3x/4 = 3(20,000)/4 = 15,000
She spent 15,000 for the sofa
