Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the cost price of the article be x

increased by 50%

50% of x =x/2

increased price =x+x/2

=(2x+x)/2

=3x/2

discount %=20%

20%of 3x/2 = 3x/2*1/5

=3x/10

reduced price = 3x/2-3x/10

=(15x-3x)/10

=12x/10

=6x/5

so balaji bought it for 6x/5

balaji sold it for 6x/5+20

=(6x+100)/5
