Question

juhi sell car for $13500. she loses 20%. what was the price she bought it???

Answer 1

here ur answer dear .... 16200

Answer 2

s.p. of. car = $ 13500

loss%=20%



c.p=?


so.


loss%=(loss×100)/c.p


c.p=(loss×100)/loss%

and loss =c.p-s.p

=> c.p=[(c.p-s.p)×100]/loss%


=>c.p=[(c.p-13500)×100]/20

=>so on solving above eq we get

c.p=(c.p-13500)×5

c.p=5c.p-67500

67500=4c.p


so c.p=
$\frac{67500}{4}$


=$16857



HENCE. COST PRICE OF CAR =$16875
