Question

Harsha sold a refrigerator for ₹ 4500 at 10% loss. What was the original price of the refrigerator?

• A. 5000

Answer 1

The correct option is A 5000
Since, the loss is 10%, the sale price is 90% of the original price. Thus,

$\text{Original price}\times \frac{90}{100}=₹4500$

From this, we can compute the original price as
$4500\times \frac{100}{90}=₹5000$

Hence, the original price is ₹ ~5000
