After spending Rupees sixty thousand for remodeling a house, Amla sold a house at a profit of 20%. If the selling price was Rupees forty-two lakhs, how much did she spend to buy the house?

Selling price (S.P) = 42,00,000

Spent on remodeling = 60,000


Profit % = 20%


Profit % =


20 =


2×C.P = 10(42,00,000 – C.P)


12 C.P = 4,20,00,000


C.P = 35,00,000


Cost Price = Cost price of house + other expenses


35,00,000 = C.P of house + 60,000


C.P of house = 34,40,000
