Question

Seema sells a bed for Rs. 14500. She losses 20%. What was the price  
  at which she bought it?  ​

Answer 1

Let C.p be X

x - 20%x = 14500

100x-20x = 1450000

80x= 1450000

x= 145000/8

x = 18,125

Therefore the C.P of the bed is 18125 rupees

Answer 2

18125

explanation

she has a loss of 20%

therefore 14500 = 80% of the cost price

let cost price be x

14500= 80/100 × x

x = 14500 × 5 / 4

x = 18125
