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
