Cost price of washing machine (w.m) = Rs. 7660. Let mp of w.m be x therefore acc. to formula s.p will be = (100-discount)/100 * m.p. Therefore s.p = 88/100 x and due to gain of 8 % c.p will be 88/100 x divided by 1.1. Therefore, c.p will be 80/100 x which is equal to 7660 answer will be 9575.

Evaluate the product without multiplying directly: 103 x 107?
103 x 107 = (100 + 3)(100 + 7) We know that (x + a)(x + b) = x^2 + (a + b)x + ab Therefore, 103 x 107 = 100^2 + (3 + 7) x 100 + 3 x 7 = 10000 + 1000 + 21 = 11021
