Question

A buys an article for Rs 650 and sells it to B at a profit of 20%. B sells it to C at a loss of 20%. what does C pay for it?

Answer 1

C.P of article for A=Rs650
C.P of article for B=Rs650+20/100*650 i.e
Rs650+Rs130=Rs780
C.P of article for C=Rs780-20/100*780 i.e
Rs780-Rs156=Rs624 Ans.

Answer 2

Given :

Cost price when "A" buys an article = 650

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

Then "B" sells it to "C" at loss Percentage = 20%

To find :

How much "C" pays for an article?

Solution :

Cost price when "A" buys an article = 650

"A" 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 .
