6. Ram sells a book to Hari at a profit of 25% and Hari sells it to Gopal at a profit of 20%. If Gopal
pays 300 for it, what did A pay for the same?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs.200

Step-by-step explanation:

C.P. for Gopal = Rs.300

S.P. for Hari = Rs.300

Profit = 20%

=> (100+20)% of C.P. = S.P.

=> 120% of C.P. = 300

=> 120/100 × C.P. = 300

=> C.P. for Hari = Rs.250

S.P. for Ram = Rs.250

Profit = 25%

=> (100+25)% of C.P. = S.P.

=> 125% of C.P. = 250

=> 125/100 × C.P. = 250

=> C.P. for Ram = Rs.200
