Question

Juhi sells a washing machine for ₹13,500.She loses 20% in the bargain. What was the price at which she bought it?

Answer 1

Step by step explanation

SP=13500

Loss=20%

CP=L*S*P

X-20% OF X=13500

X-20/100*x=13500

5x-x/5=13500

4x/5=13500

X=13500*5/4

X=16875

Answer 2

From the question, it is given that

Selling price of washing machine = ₹ 13500

Percentage of loss = 20%

Now, we have to find the cost price washing machine

By using the formula, we have:

CP = ₹ {(100/ (100 – loss %)) × SP}

= {(100/ (100 – 20)) × 13500}

= {(100/ 80) × 13500}

= {1350000/80}

= {135000/8}

= ₹ 16875
