Question
The marked price of the washing machine is 40% above its
cost price. The seller offers two successive discounts of 25% and 15%, respectively. If he incurs a loss of Rs. 1075, find the price (in rupees) at which he sold the washing machine.Solution
Let the cost price = Rs. x
Marked price = 140% of x = Rs. 1.40x
According to the question,
x - 1.40x × 75% × 85% = 1075
x - 1.40x × 0.75 × 0.85 = 1075
x - 0.8925x = 1075
0.1075x = 1075 ⟹ x = 10000
The required selling price = Rs. 10000 - 1075 = Rs. 8925
