Malini purchased a renewed laptop at 60% of the price of fresh piece. She sold it at 10% loss to Shalini. If the price at which Shalini purchased the laptop is Rs. 13500, then what is the price of fresh piece of laptop? Correct Answer Rs. 25000

GIVEN:

Malini purchased laptop at 60% of the price of fresh piece. She sold it at 10% loss to Shalini.

Shalini purchased the laptop at Rs. 13500

FORMULA USED:

SP = CP ×

CALCULATION:

Let price of fresh piece of laptop = x

Price at which Malini purchased the laptop = 60% of x = 0.6x

Price at which Malini sold the laptop to Shalini = 90% of 0.6x = 0.54x

Amount paid by Shalini to Malini of laptop is rs. 13500

⇒ 0.54x = 13500

⇒ x = 25000

∴ Price of fresh piece of laptop = Rs. 25000
