Question

if the manufacturer gains 6% the wholesaler dealer 8% and the retailer gains 10% then what is the production cost of a geyser whose retail price is Rs.15741

Answer 1

Let the cost be x

Manufacturer's gain= 6%

SP of the manufacturer= 106% of Rs.x

=Rs. 53x/50

Wholesale dealer's SP=108% of 53x/50

{53x/50*108/100}= {53x/50*27/25}

Retailer's SP=110% of {53x/50*27/25}

={53x/50*27/25*110/100}

={53x/50*27/25*11/10}

Retail price=Rs. 15741

53x/50*27/25*11/10=15741

x=15741*50*25*10/53*27*11

x=12500

So, the production cost of geyser is Rs. 12500

Hope this is correct!
