Answer 2

Answer:

₹16,875.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out the price at which Juhi bought the washing machine, we need to calculate the original price before the 20% loss.

Let's denote the original price as x.

Given that Juhi sells the washing machine for ₹13,500, and she loses 20% in the bargain, the selling price is 80% of the original price.

So, we can set up the equation:

0.8x = 13 500

Divide both sides by 0.8:

$x = \frac{13500}{0.8}$

x = 16875
