A sold a article to B 20% profit and B spend 40rupees for traveling and sold to C 10% profit .C pay 968 rupees .what is the vost price of A?

Answer 1

Answer:

cost price of A = Rs 700

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say cost Price of A  = Rs A

Sold at 20% profit = A + (20/100)A = 1.2A

B cost Price = 1.2A

B spend Rs 40 for travelling

Effective cost price for B = 1.2A + 40 Rs

B sold to C at 10 % profit = (1.2A + 40)(1 + 10/100)

=>(1.2A + 40)(1.1)  = 968

=> 1.2A + 40 = 880

=> 1.2A = 840

=> A = 700

cost price of A = Rs 700
