Question

juhi sells a washing machine for rs 13500. she loses 20% in the bargin. what was the price at which she bought it?

Answer 1

sp=13500
loss%=20
cp=?
we know
cp=(sp*100)/100-L%
= (13500*100)/100-20
= 1350000/80
= 16875

Answer 2

Hi ,

selling price of the

washing machine ( SP ) = Rs 13500

loss % = l = 20%

cost price = CP

CP = ( S.P × 100 )/ ( 100 - l )

= ( 13500 × 100 ) / ( 100 - 20 )

= ( 13500 × 100 ) / 80

= Rs16875

Therefore ,

cost price of the washing machine = CP

= Rs 16875

I hope this helps you.
