Question

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

Answer 1

Answer :-

According to the question,

Selling price = Rs 13,500 & Loss % = 20%

Suppose the cost price be x.

∴ Loss = 20% of x

Also, Cost price − Loss = Selling price

⇒x – (20/100) × x = 13500

⇒x – (1/5)x = 13500

⇒(4/5)x = 13500

⇒x = 13500 × (5/4) = 16875
