Question

If the manufacturer gains 10%, the wholesale dealer 15%, and the retailer 25% then what is
the production cost of a washing machine whose retail price is 37950?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of machine is Rs. 24,000.

Retail price of machine = 37950. (Given)

Manufacturer gains 10% (Given)

Wholesaler gain = 15% (Given)

Retailer gain = 25%  (Given)

Let the cost of production of an washing machine be = x

Hence 125% of 115% of 110% of x = 37,950

= 125 / 100 × 115/100 × 110/ 100 × x = 37,950

= 37950 × 1000000 / 125 × 115 × 110

= 24,000

Therefore, the cost of machine is 24000 rupees.
