Answer 1

Archana bought it for 105% of ₹900
cost at which Archana bought = 105/100 × 900
= ₹945

ARCHANA SOLD IT TO BABITA AT 20% LOSS, i.e., at 80% of rate what she bought it for

that means Babita got it for 80% of ₹945
$= > 80\% \times 945 \\ = \frac{80}{100} \times 945 \\ = \frac{4}{5} \times 945 \\ = 4 \times 189 \\\ = 736$
thus Babita got the gas chullah for ₹736
