selling price of the item is 594, find the manufacturing price.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs.360

Step-by-step explanation:

S.P. of an item =Rs.594

Profit=20%

∴ C.P. for the shopkeeper =100+Profit%S.P.×100

=100+20594×100=120594×100=Rs.495

S.P. for the item to agency =Rs.495

Profit=10%

∴ C.P. for the agency =100+10495×100

=110495×100=Rs.450

∴ S.P. of two items for the manufacturer

=Rs.450

Profit=25%

∴ C.P. for the manufacturer =100+25450×100

=125450×100=Rs.360

∴ Cost price for the manufacturer =Rs.360
