Answer 1

Answer:

Reema bought a shelf which costs 18,000. She got 20%

Answer 2

Here the cost of the shelf is given to be Rs. 18,000

Now, there is a 20% discount on the shelf

We have to find the original price of the shelf

Let the original price be Rs. x

So, discount = 20% of x

                    = (20/100) × x

                   = 0.2x

Reema bought shelf for Rs. 18000

So, 18000 = original price - discount

     18000 = x - 0.2x

      18000 = 0.8x

            x = 18000/0.8

               = 22,500

Hence, the original price of the shelf will be Rs. 22,500
