Answer:

  20

Step-by-step explanation:

The proceeds from the sale can be described by an equation involving the original number of computers.

__

setup

Let n represent the number of computers the school originally had. Then n-5 is "all but 5" and is the number sold. Each is sold for ₹1200, and the value of the sale is ₹18000. This can be expressed by the equation ...

  (n -5)×1200 = 18000

__

solution

This 2-step linear equation can be solved by dividing by the coefficient, and adding the opposite of the constant.

  n -5 = 18000/1200 = 15 . . . . . divide by 1200

  n = 15 +5 = 20 . . . . . . . . . . add the opposite of -5

The school originally had 20 computers.
