Answer 1

Answer:

2500 Rs.

Step-by-step explanation :

Loss of A = 20% or 20/100

Profit of B = 32 % or 32/100

Loss of C = 20% or 20/100

Let A bought the article for x

       20x/100 + 35 = 80x/100 * 132/100 * 20/100

       20x/100 + 35 = (4 * 33 / 25 * 25) x

                       35 = (4 * 33 / 25 * 25) x - (20x / 100)

                       35 = 4 * 33 * 4 / 2500  x - 20 * 25 / 2500  x

                       35 = x (528 - 500 / 2500)

                       35 = x 7 / 625

                         x = 35 * 7 / 625

                         x = 35 * 7 / 625 * 80 / 100 (To find the amount B bought the                                                                                                                                                                                                                  article for)    

                         x = 2500 Rs
