Answer 1

Answer:

2079 rupees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Shyam purchased the cycle for 1800 rupees and sold it at 10% profit to Mohan.

We know that 10%means 10÷100 I.e 0.1, In this question 10% of 1800 =180

that means Syam purchased a cycle for 1800 and sold it at 10% means 1800+180 = 1980 rupees.

now, Mohan sold the cycle to Anwar at 5% means 5% of 1980 because Mohan cost price of the cycle is 1980 rupees which is the 10% profit of Shyam.

now, 5% of 1980

=(5÷100) x 1980

= 0.05 x 1980

= 99 rupees.

which means 1980+99 = 2079 rupees

hence, Anwar purchased the cycle at 2079 rupees.
