Answer 1

Given,

Manufacturer To Wholesaller

Gain % = P1% = 18%

Wholeseller To Retailer

Gain % = P2% = 20%

Retailer to Customer

Gain % = P3% = 25%

Retailer Selling Price = Rs. 30.09

Retailer to Customer

CP = (SP*100)/(100+P3%)

CP = 3009/125

CP of Retailer = Rs24.072

Wholeseller To Retailer

SP of Wholeseller = Rs. 24.072

CP = (SP*100)/(100+P2%)

CP = 2407.2/120

CP of Wholeseller = Rs. 20.06

Manufacturer To Wholesaller

SP of Manufacturer = Rs. 20.06

CP = (SP*100)/(100+P1%)

CP = 2006/118

CP of Manufacturer = Rs. 17

The Cost Price of the Manufacturer = Rs. 17
