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

Answer:

$16,875

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'X' be the original price of the product.

As Juhi lost 20% on selling it at 13,500.

X - (20/100) X = 13500

4/5 X = 13500

X = 16875

Therefore the price she bought the washing machine is $16,875

Answer 2

Answer:

Price at which she bought it is $16875.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

• Selling price of washing machine is $13,500.
• Loss percent is 20%.

To find :

• Price at which Juhi bought it means Cost price of washing machine.

Solution :

• We have to find cost price of washing machine. We will find it using by loss and loss percent formula. Formulas are :

• Loss = Cost price - Selling price

• $\pmb{\sf Loss \: percent = \bigg( \dfrac{Loss}{C.P} \bigg) \times 100}$

So, Loss :

$\implies$ Loss = C.P - 13500

Now,

$\implies \sf 20 = \bigg( \dfrac{C.P - 13500}{C P} \bigg) \times 100$

$\implies \sf 20 \times C.P = (C.P - 13500) \times 100$

$\implies \sf 20 C.P = 100 C.P - 1350000$

$\implies \sf 20 C.P + 1350000 = 100 C.P$

$\implies \sf 1350000 = 100 C.P - 20 C.P$

$\implies \sf 1350000 = 80 C.P$

$\implies \sf C.P = \dfrac{1350000}{80}$

$\implies \pmb{\sf C.P = 16875}$

Cost price is price at which washing machine is bought.

Therefore,

Price at which she bought it is $16875 .
