Application : 1 Mark
Calculation : 1 Mark

Given, Selling price = Rs 13,500

$L o s s % = 20 %$

Let the cost price be $x .$

$∴ L o s s = 20 % o f x$

Selling price = Cost price - Loss

$\Rightarrow 13500 = x - \frac{20}{100} \times x$

$\Rightarrow 13500 = x - \frac{1}{5} x$

$\Rightarrow 13500 = \frac{4}{5} x$

$\Rightarrow x = 16875$

Therefore, she bought it for Rs 16875.
