Question

Juhi sells washing machine for 15,000. She loses 25% in bargain. What was the price at which she

bought it?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 20,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the cost price of the washing machine = Rs. 100

Loss is given as 25% of cost price = Rs. 25

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

= 100 - 25

= Rs. 75

Using the unitary method.

If the selling price is Rs. 75, the cost price = Rs.100

Thus, if the selling price is Rs.15000

The cost price = (100/75) × 15000

= Rs.20,000
