Question

A sell a bicycle toB at a profit of 30% then B sells bicycle to C at a loss of 20% and C pays 520rup. Find the C.P. of A

Answer 1

500 rs will be the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

Rs.500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the CP for A be x

Profit% = 30%

SP = $\frac{CP(100+P\%)}{100}$

SP = $\frac{x(100+30)}{100}$

SP = $1.3 x$

CP for B = 1.3x

B sells bicycle to C at a loss of 20%

Loss% = 20%

SP = $\frac{1.3x(100-20)}{100}$

SP = $1.04x$

C pays Rs.520

So,$1.04x=520$

$x=\frac{520}{1.04}$

$x=500$

Hence CP for A is Rs.500
