• Selling price of an article is 18000

• Loss percentage is 20% .

$\sf\pink{Given:}$

• Cost price ?

• Loss ?

Explanation :

$\sf\purple{ cost\:price = \dfrac{100}{100-loss\: percent}\times selling\:price}$

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf{\dfrac{100}{100-20}\times 18000}$

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf{\dfrac{100}{80}\times 18000}$

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf{\dfrac{10}{8}\times 18000}$

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf{\dfrac{180000}{8}}$

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf{22500}$

• Therefore the cost prie is Rs 22500 .

$\sf\red{Loss = cost\:price - selling\: price .}$

$\longrightarrow\sf{ 22500 - 18000}$

$\longrightarrow\sf{4500}$

• Therefore loss is Rs 4500
