Question

Rita sells a table for rs. 23,500 at a loss of 40% . what was the price at which she bought it? Calculate her loss amount.​

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Answer 2

Answer:

40/100=2/5%

23500+2/5=1752/5.
