​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs.50000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C.P. of the article = Rs.x

Cost for wholesale dealer = Rs.x.(1+10/100) = Rs.1.1x.

Cost for a shopkeeper = Rs. 1.1 x.(1+20/100) = Rs.(1.32)x

Cost for a customer =Rs.(1.32x).(1–15/100) = Rs. (1.32x).(0.85) ,

accordingly:-

(1.32).x.(0.85) = 56100.

or. x= (56100×100×100)/(132×85)

= Rs.50000.
