Answers
Cost Price Of Washing Machine.
Answer: The price at which Juhi bought the machine is Rs 16875.
Explanation:
Given that selling price of machine = Rs 13500
Loss percentage = 20%
need to determine price at which Juhi Bought the washing machine that is cost price of washing machine.
let assume cost price of washing machine = Rs x
As it is a case of loss
so selling price = cost price - 20% loss
⇒ selling price = cost price - 20 % of cost price
On substituting given selling price and assumed cost price we get
13500 = x - 20 % of x
⇒13500 = x - (20/100) × x
⇒ 13500 = (100x - 20x)/100
⇒13500 = 80x/100
⇒(13500 × 100)/80 = x
⇒ x = 16875
Cost price = x = Rs 16875
Hence cost price of the machine that is the price at which Juhi bought the machine is Rs 16875.
