a manufacturer sells an item to an agency at a profit of 25% the Ageny sells the item to A shopkeeper at 10% profit and shopkeeper sells the item at a profit of 20% if the selling price of the item is rupees 594 find the manufacturing price

Answer 1

Reduce 20% from 594 to obtain the selling price given by the shopkeeper
= 594 - 20/100 × 594
= 594 - 118.8
= 475.2
Then reduce 10% from 475.2 to obtain the selling price given by the Agency
= 475.2 - 10/100 × 475.2
= 475.2 - 47.52
= 427.68
Then reduce 25% from 427.68 to obtain the selling price given by the manufacturer
= 427.68 - 25/100 × 427.68
= 427.68 - 106.92
= 320.76 Rs is the answer.
