Answer 1

Question:-

a sells toy to b at15% profit b later sells back to A at 20% profit.and make a profit of rs 552.how much did a initally pay for the toy

Given:-

Let the CP for A, B = ₹xxxx

A profit = $15%$

SP for A = $(1+15÷100)×CP$

Solutions:-

$= 115 \div 100 \times x$

$= 23x \div 20$

SP for A = CP for B

Therefore:-

CP for B = $=₹23x÷20$

Propit = $20%$

SP for B = $(1+20÷100)×CP$

$=120÷100×₹X$

$₹6x÷5$

Profit for B = $SP-CP$

$₹6x÷5-₹23x÷20$

$₹x÷20$

ACC. for the question:-

$=>₹x÷20=₹69$

$₹x=₹1380$

Money paid by A to B = $₹6x÷5$

$=₹6×1380÷5$

$=₹1656$

AnsWeR:-

$\sf\fbox{₹1656}$
