Question

A manufacture sells an item to an agency at a profit of25%. the agency sells the item to a shopkeeperat 10% profit and shopkeeper sells the item at a profit of 20%. if the selling price of item is 594rs. find the manufacturing price

Answer 1

Let the manufacturing price be Rs 100
S.P of manufacturer= C.P of agency = 100 +25 = Rs 125
similarly, S.P of agency = C.P of shopkeeper = 125 + 12.5 = Rs 137.5
now, S.P of shopkeeper = 137.5 + 27.5 = Rs 165
Now,given S.P = Rs 594
when S.P is Rs 165 , the C.P is Rs 100
when S.P is Re 1, then C.P = Rs 100/165
when S.P is Rs 594, then C.P = Rs (100/ 165)×594 = Rs 360
