​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Sells it to "B" at Profit Percentage = 20 % . = 780 . So , "A" sells it to "B" at Rs 780 .

Answer 2

$\huge \dag \mathfrak{ \red{answer}}$

Cost price when "A" buys an article = 650

Sells it to "B" at Profit Percentage = 20 % .

Selling Price = Cost Price + Profit

= 650 + (650 x 20%)

= 650 + 130

= 780 .

So , "A" sells it to "B" at Rs 780 .

Cost Price when "B" buys an article = 780

Loss % = 20 %

Selling Price = Cost Price - Loss

= 780 - (780 x 20%)

= 780 - 156

= 624 .

So , "B" sells it to "C" at Rs 624 .

Cost Price when "C" buys an article = Rs 624.

Hence :

"C" PAYS FOR AN ARTICLE = Rs 624 .
