Question

a sell an article to B at a profit of 20% .B sells it to C at a loss of 4% .what does it cost to A if C pays rupees 144.​

Answer 1

Answer:

L% = 96 X 100/144=66

MEANS B HAD SELL IT FOR 144 WITH LOSS 66

THEN PROFIT OF A = 144+66 =210  

120 X 100/210 = 57

MEANS=210+57=267

A HAS SELL IT FOR 267 IF IT COSTS HIM 210

THEN B SELL IT FOR 144 IF IT COSTS HIM 267
