Question

A man sells 3 articles at same price, first on 20%
profit, second on 10% loss, third on 25% loss. During
the whole transaction he bears a loss of Rs. 120. Find
the selling price of each article.

Answer 1

Let the C.P be 100.

so,S.P=c.p*100+/-profit/loss÷100

s.p=100*120÷100=120 rupee for first.

similarly,s.p=100*90÷100=90 rupee for second.

In the third case s.p=100*75÷100=75 rupee.
