Question

Juhi sells a washing machine for Rs 13,500. She loses 20% in the bargain. What was the price at which she bought it?

Answer 1

juhi sells waching machine at `= rs 13,500`
loses in the bargain`= 20%`
SP = CP`-` loss
loss `= 20% `of CP
let CP of washing machine be x rs
`13500 = x - (20 xx x)/100`
`13500 = x- x/5`
`13500 = 4x/5`
`x = 13500 xx 5/4`
`= 67500/4 = 16875 rs`
