Answer 1

HEY DEAR ...

 

5% of 70000=70000*5/100=3500

So first selling price =70000-3500=66500

10% of 66500 = 66500*10/100=6650

So , second selling price = 66500-6650=Rs. 59850

HOPE , IT HELPS ...

Answer 2

Cost price of the tractor=Rs70000
Loss=5percent
SP=1-l/100of CP
SP=1-5/100of 70000
SP=95/100*70000
=Rs66500
Now,the 2nd farmer sells it at a loss of 10percent.
SP=1-l/100of 66500
SP=1-10/100 of 66500
SP=90/100*66500
=59850
So, the third farmer has to pay Rs59850 for the tractor.
