Question

The SP of an AC is 18000 I lost 20%
Find the CP.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Selling price of A.C = 18,000

Rs. a/c to question, I lose 20% by selling on it.

Hence, C.P = 22,500 Rs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let CP be 'x',

Loss = 20% of CP

= 20% of x

= x/5 {20/100 × x = 1/5 × x}

Loss = x/5

We know that,

SP + Loss = CP

= 18000 + x/5 = x

= 18000 = x - x/5

= 18000 = 4x/5

= 18000 × 5/4 = x

= 4500 × 5 = x

= 22,500

Therefore, the CP is 22,500.
