Question

A sells an article to Be at a gain of 5%.B sells it to C at a gain of 15%.If C pays Rs 483 for it, then find the cost price of A. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

15% of 483 = 72.45

then subtract 72.45 from 483.

483 - 72.45 = 410.55

then calculate 5% of 410.55 = 20.52 rupee.

then subtract 20.52 from 410.55 to find our the original cost of the article.

410.55 - 20.52 = 390.02 rupee
