Sagot :

Answer: 16875

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of the washing machine be x.

Since she loses 20% in the bargain, this implies that she sold it at (100% - 20%) = 80%.

Therefore, 80% of x = 13500

0.8 × x = 13500

0.8x = 13500

Divide both side by 0.8

0.8x/0.8 = 13500/0.8

x = 16875

Therefore, the price at which she bought the washing machine is 16875 rupees.

Answer:

hence, the price of washing machine is Rs.16,875

Step-by-step explanation:

selling price of washing machine = Rs. 13,500

loss percentage = 20 %

let the cost of washing machine be Rs. x

lost= 20% of Rs. x= 20/100 × x =x/ 5

13500 = x - x/ 5

13500 = 4x / 5

x = 13500×5 /4

rs. 16875
