Answer 1

Answer:

Given,

From the question, it is given that

Selling price of washing machine = ₹ 13500

Percentage of loss = 20%

We have to find the cost price washing machine

By using the formula, we have:

CP = ₹ {(100/ (100 – loss %)) × SP}

Solution

On substituting the known values in the above formula we get

= {(100/ (100 – 20)) × 13500}

= {(100/ 80) × 13500}

= {1350000/80}

= {135000/8}

= ₹ 16875

Answer

The cost price pf washing machine = ₹ 16875

Answer 2

Answer:

16,875

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets assume that the cost price of the washing machine is 100

Loss is given as 20% of cost price = Rs. 20

So, the selling price will be = Cost price - loss

= 100 - 20

= Rs. 80

By using the unitary method.

If the selling price is Rs. 80, the cost price = Rs.100

Thus, if the selling price is Rs.13,500

The cost price = (100/80) × 13500 = Rs. 16,875
