Answer 1

Answer:

mark me as brilliant

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling price of washing machine =Rs.13,500

Loss percent =20%

Let the cost price of washing machine be Rs. x

Since, Loss=Loss % of C.P

⇒ Loss =20% of Rs. x=10020×x=5x

∴ S.P=C.P-Loss

⇒ 13500=x−5x⇒13500=54x

⇒ x=413500×5=Rs.16,875

Hence, the cost price of washing machine is Rs. 16,875
