Question

Juhi sells a washing machine for rs 13500. She loses 20% in the bargain. What was the price at which she bought it?​

Answer 1

Answer:

sp = 13500.

loss= 20%.

13500*20%. = 2700

cp= 13500- 2700

10800

Answer 2

Given:

• Selling Price = ₹ 13,500
• Loss in the Bargain (Parcent) = 20%

To Find:

• Cost Price of the Washing Machine?

Solution:

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

$\\ \bigstar{\underline{\boxed{\tt\large{ Loss = Cost \ Price_{(CP)} \times Loss_{( Parcentage )} }}}}$

$\implies$ 20% of Rs. x

$\implies$ x × 20/100

$\implies {\tt{ \dfrac{ x}{5} }}$

Therefore,

$\\ \bigstar{\underline{\boxed{\tt\large{ \green{ Selling \ Price_{(SP)} }= Cost \ Price_{(CP)} - Loss }}}}$

$\implies$ 13500 = x − x/5

$\implies$ 13500 = 4x/5

$\implies$ x = 13500 × 5/4

$\implies$ ₹ 16,875

Hence,

• The Cost Price of the Washing Machine is ₹16875.
