Question

Ashok bought an article and spent ` 110 on its repairs. He then sold it to bhushan at a profit of 20%. Bhushan sold it to charan at a loss of 10%. Charan finally sold it for ` 1188 at a profit of 10%. How much did ashok pay for the article.

Answer 1

sp for Charan = 1188

CP of Charan = x

1188/x  x 100 =  110

11x = 11880

x = 1080

So Bhushan's SP = 1080

Bhushan's CP =y

1080/y x 100 = 90

9y = 10800

y = 1200

So SP of Ashok = 1200

CP for Ashok = z

1200/z  x 100 = 120

12z = 12000

z = 1000

Total AShok spent on article = Rs. 1000

If you are ask on what price he bought = 6000 -110 = Rs. 890
