Question

Mr.a sells a bicycle to mr.b at a profit of 20% and mr.b sells to mr.c at a profit of 25%. If mr.c pays ₹1500,what did mr.a pay for it

Answer 1

Let the C.P. for Mr A be 100x.
S.P for A= C.P for B.= 120x (20%profit).
S.P for B= C.P for C. = 150x(25% profit).
Also, C.P for C= 1500Rs.
So , 150x=1500.
Therefore 100x = (1500/150)*100.Rs
=1000Rs.
Hence Mr A paid 1000 Rs for it.
