basic (cost) price.​

Answer 1

Cost price = ₹12,300

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN

Selling Price = ₹13,530

Tax = 10%

Cost price = ?

___________________________

We know that,

Cost price = (Selling Price × 100) / (100 + percentage profit)

Cost price = (13530 × 100) / (100 + 10%)

Cost price = 1,353,000 / 110

Cost price = 12,300

Cost price = ₹12,300

Answer 2

Answer:

₹ 12300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the C.P of the washing machine be x.

A/Q,

x + 10% of x = ₹ 13530

=>x + x/10 = ₹ 13530

=>(10x + x) /10 = ₹ 13530

=>11x/10 = ₹ 13530

=>x = ₹ 13530×10/11

=>x = ₹ 12300

Therefore, the C.P of the washing machine is ₹ 12300.
