Question

A sold a calculator to B at 20% profit . B sold it C at 5% profit . If C paid 441 for it, what was the cost price of the calculator​

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost price of Calculator = Rs. 350

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost price of A = Rs. X

Selling Price of A =  X + 20% of X

                             = 1.2 X

Selling Price of A = Cost Price of B = 1.2 X

Selling Price of B = 1.2 X + 5% of 1.2X

                             = 1.26X

Selling Price of B = Cost Price of C = 1.26 X

Thus,

441 = 1.26X

X = 350

Therefore, Cost Price of the Calculator to A is Rs. 350
