Question

Aman sells a watch to bina at a profit of 25% and bina sells it to Juhi at a profit of 15%.if Juhi paid Bina rupees 4600,what was the cost price of the watch for Aman? if Aman had directly sold the watch to juhi for the amount juhi paid bina,what would have been his profit percent?

Answer 1

3200,
$(4600 - 3200 ) \div 3200 =$
43.75%

Answer 2

CP of Juhi- Sp of bina
4600=4600

let x be the cp

Bina's cp= sp-profit
x=4600-15x/100
15x/100+x=4600
115x/100=4600
x= 4600*100/115
x=4000

Bina's cp is RS.4000

let x be the cp

Bina's CP= Aman's SP
4000=x+25x/100
4000=125x/100
400000/125=x
3200=x

Aman's cp is RS.3200

SP= 4600
CP=3200

PRofit=1400

profit %= 1400/3200*100
=43.75%
