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

                                                         

║⊕ANSWER⊕║

GIVEN

SP of washing machine is Rs 13500

Loss % = 20 %.

So CP of washing machine = 100/(100-loss%) * SP

                                                =100/(100-20)×13500

                                               =100/80×13500

                                                =16875

∴ CP of washing machine is Rs 16875

                                                       

Answer 2

Answer:

Juhi bought washing machine at 16875 Rs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let actual price of washing machine be $x$

Selling price of washing machine is  = 13500

Percentage of loss =20%=$0.2x$

Actual Price =Selling price +loss

$x=13500+0.2x\\x-0.20x=13500\\0.8x =13500\\x=\frac{13500}{0.8} \\x=16875 Rs$

Juhi bought washing machine at 16875 Rs
