Question

A sells an article to B at a profit of 20% and B sells it to C at a loss of 6% .If C pays Rs 846 find how much did A pay for it.​

Answer 1

A = Cost Price of A

B = Cost price of B

C = Cost price of C

B = Selling Price of A = A + (20÷100)A = A + 0.2A = 1.2A

C = Selling Price of B = B + (25÷100)B = B + 0.25B = 1.25B

Thus C = 1.25B = 1.25 × 1.2A = 1.5A = 225

Thus 1.5A = 225

Thus A = 225÷1.5

Thus A = 150 = Price at which A purchase the article.

Answer 2

For A

CP = x
P % = 20 %
SP = 100 + P % divided by 100 into CP
= 120 / 100 into x
= 6x / 5

Note : A’s SP is B’s CP

For B

CP = 6x / 5
L % = 6 %
SP = 100 - L % divided by 100 into CP
= 94 / 100 into 6x / 5
= 141x / 125

Note : B’s SP is C’s CP

For C

CP = 141x / 125

Acc.to que :

141x / 125 = 846
x = 846 into 125 divided by 141
x = 750

So A paid ₹ 750 for it ( ANS )
