Question

A sells a bicycle to B at a profit of 20%.B sells it to C at a profit of 25%.If C pays Rs. 235 for it,the cost price of the bicycle is forA is

Answer 1

Let C.P. of cycle for A=100x.
S.P. for A= C.P. for B. =120x.(20%profit).
S.P. for B=. C.P. for C. = 150x(25%profit).
Also C.P of C= 235Rs.
So, 150x=225.
Therefore 100x= (225/150)*100.
= 1.5*100.= 150Rs.
Hence, CP.for A=150Rs.
Hope this helps.
