Answer 2

Answer:

The final answer is Rs. 20,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling price of the washing machine = Rs. 25,000

Profit made = 20%

We know,

                    Percentage = (Number / 100) X Percent

So, profit made     = (25,000 / 100) X 20

                              = 250 (00 of 25,000 and 100 cancels) X 20

                              = 5,000

Now, cost price of the washing machine = (Selling Price - Profit)

                                                                    = Rs. 25,000 - 5,000

                                                                    = Rs. 20,000 (Answer)
