Question

a table passes through hands of dealers A,B,C.each of whom in selling makes a profit of 10% on his CP . what did A pay for the table if C sells it for rs 665.50 (rs500)​

Answer 1

Answer:

₹797.60

Step-by-step explanation:

If C sells it for ₹665.50 to B, B makes 10% profit, therefore, the rate at which B sells it will be 10% more than that of which C sells it.

And, A will sell it for 10% profit again, so the rate at which A sells it will be 20% more than that of which C sells it.

Hence, Rate at which A sells the table= 20% + (rate at which C sells it)

                                                               = 20/100 (665.50) + 665.50

                                                                = ₹797. 60
