Answer:
Rs. 15,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original price of oven be x.
Price at which Maya sold her oven = Rs. 12,750
Loss% = 15%
Therefore, Rs. 12,750 = (100-15)% of x
= 85% of x
85% of x = Rs. 12,750
=> 85x/100 = Rs. 12,750
=> 85x = Rs. 12,750*100
=> 85x = Rs. 12,75,000
=> x = Rs. 12,75,000/85
=> x = Rs. 15,000
