Question

A sold an article to b at a loss of 20% and B sold it to C at a gain of 20% if C paid Rupees 6000 for the article find the cost price of the article for A

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

B's SP = C's CP = Rs 6000

gain%= 20%

B's CP = 100/100+gain% * SP

= 100/120 * 6000

=Rs 5000

B's CP = A's SP = Rs 5000

loss% = 20%

A's CP = 100/100 - loss% * SP

= 100/80 * 5000

=Rs 6250

therefore the cost price of the article for A = Rs 6250
