Answer 1

Answer:

Ritu bought the for ₹ 32000

Step-by-step explanation:

Priyanka sells the scooty to Meenu at a loss of 30%

Amount of money Meenu paid to Priyanka = ₹ 17920

According to problem , Priyanka made a loss of 30% while he sold it to Meenu

As Priyanka made 30% loss . Therefore Meenu paid (100 - 30) = 70% of the total money that Priyanka bought from Ritu

(According to Unitary Method)

70% of the total money of Priyanka bought from Ritu = ₹17920

Therefore 1% of the money = 17920/70

" 100% " " " = 17920/70 × 100 = ₹25600

Therefore , Amount of money Priyanka paid to Ritu = ₹25600

According to problem , Ritu made a loss of 20% while he sold it to Priyanka

As Ritu made a 20% loss . Therefore Priyanka paid (100 - 20) = 80% of the total money that Rith bought

(According to Unitary Method)

80% of the total money of Ritu bought = ₹25600

Therefore 1% of the money = 25600/80

" 100% " " " = 25600/80 × 100 = ₹32000

Therefore , Amount of money Ritu paid when she bought = ₹32000
