Question

the washing machine was sold for rupees 8550
rupees at the loss of 5% find the cost of washing machine

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The machine was sold at 5 % loss

hence,

95% = Rs 8550

100% = 8550/95 *100

        =  90 * 100

        = Rs 9,000

Hence the machine's cost price = Rs 9,000

Answer 2

Answer:

Rs 9000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost Price = C

Loss = 5%

Loss = (Loss % /100) * Cost Price

Loss = (5 / 100) * C = C/20

Selling Price = Cost Price - Loss

8550 = C - C/20

8550*20 = 20C - C

8550 * 20 = 19C

C = 8550*20/19

C = 450*20

C = 9000
