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

Answer:

Rs. 16,875

Step-by-step explanation:

The selling price of washing machine = Rs. 13500

Loss percent = 20%

Let the cost price of the washing machine be Rs. x.

Loss = Loss% of C.P.

Loss = 20% of Rs.

x : 20 /100 × x = x/5

Therefore, S.P. = C.P. - Loss

13500= x - x/5 = 13500 = 4x/5..

x= 13500 × 5/4

= Rs. 16,875

Hence, the cost price of washing machine is Rs. 16,875.

Answer 2

Answer:

let cost price of washing machine be x

selling price of washing machine is 13,500

loss percent 20

loss= loss percent of cp

x= 20÷100

x=x÷5

sp= cp-loss

13500= x-x÷5

13500=4×x÷5

x=13500×5÷4

x=16,875

hence,cost price of washing machine is 16,875
