sp of washing machine =rs12750.
loss%=15%.

now cp=100/100-loss%×sp.
so 100/100-15×12750.
100/85×12750
=rs 15000.
therefore cp = rs15000

rishu12: it is wrong
saumya29: how?
saumya29: what is correct answer?
rishu12: because if we will find loss% of 15000 it would be something else not 12750₹
saumya29: so tell me correct answer
rishu12: srry i was wrong
rishu12: i didn't add the ans
saumya29: ok

Selling Price of washing machine = Rs 12750 
Loss% = 15

We know that when SP and Loss% are given then            100 X SP
                                                                            CP =    --------------------
                                                                                         (100 - Loss%)
So,          100 X 12750
      CP= ------------------
                (100 - 15)
               
      CP = 1275000 / 85  = Rs 15000
Therefore, Cost price of washing machine = Rs. 15000
