Answer 1

Answer:

12500

Step-by-step explanation:

according to question

selling price of A = cost price for B

selling price of B = cost price for C

cost price of C or selling price of B= 14445

cost price of B = (100* selling price) / (100+gain%)

cost price of B = (100* 14445) / (100+8)

cost price of B = 13375

Selling price of A = 13375

cost price of A= (100* S.P) / (100+ gain %)

cost price of A = (100 * 13375) / (100+7)

cost price of A = 12500
