Question

A sells a camera to bat profit of 20% and b sells it to c at a profit of 25%. if c pays rs 450, whatprice did a pay for the camera?

Answer 1

A sold a camera to B at 20%

Let price be x

cost price + profit Percentage

x + 20%(x)

x + 0.2x

1.2x

Selling price of A to B = 1.2x

it will be the cost price of B to C

profit.B sold it to C at 25% profit.

(1.2x + 25%(1.2x))

(1.2x + 0.3x)

(1.5x)

c paid 450

so..

1.5x = 450

x = 450/1.5 = 350

cost price = 300
