Question

2. Honey sold a wrist watch to Kirti at 20% profit. Kirti further sold it to Muskaan at a profit of 50%. If Muskan
paid Rs. 441 for it, what was the C.P. of the wrist watch?​

Answer 1

Let x be the cost price of the watch

Answer 2

Answer:

₹350

Step-by-step explanation:

let the cost price of the wrist watch be X

honey's profit% = 20%

s.p for honey =(100+profit %/100)x c.p

(100+20/100)x X

120/100x =6/5x

s.p for honey = c.p for kiriti = 6/5x

Kiriti's profit = 5 %

s.p for kiriti = (100+profit%/100)x c.p

( 100+5/100)x 6/5x

126/100x

s.p for kiriti = c.p for muskan

126/100x = 441

x = 441x100/126

= 350

c.p of the wrist watch = ₹350
