Question

Juhi sells washing machine for rupees 13,500.she loses 20% in the bargain .what was the price at she bought?

Answer 1

13500 x 20 /100 = 2700

so, SP was 13500 + 2700
= 16200

Answer 2

From the question, it is given that

Selling price of washing machine = ₹ 13500

Percentage of loss = 20%

Now, we have to find the cost price washing machine

By using the formula, we have:

CP = ₹ {(100/ (100 – loss %)) × SP}

= {(100/ (100 – 20)) × 13500}

= {(100/ 80) × 13500}

= {1350000/80}

= {135000/8}

= ₹ 16875
