Question

Mr. A sells a bicylce to Mr. B at a profit of 20% and Mr. B sells it to Mr. Cat a profit of 25%, If Mr. C pays 1,500, what did Mr. A pay for it?​

Answer 1

Given:-

___________________________________________

• Cost price (CP) of Mr c = ₹ 1500.

• Profit = 25%

___________________________________________

To Find :-

• Cost price (CP) of Mr A.

___________________________________

Formula :-

• $Sp = ( \frac{100}{100 + proft} )$

___________________________________________

Solution:-

• $= > \frac{1500 \times 100}{100 + 25}$

• $= > \frac{150000}{125}$

___________________________________

• $₹1200$

__________________________________

Again:-

• SP of Mr A = CP of Mr B = ₹ 1200

__________________________________

Now:-

$CP of Mr A = \frac{sp \: of \: mr \: a \: \times 100}{100 + profit}$

• $= > \frac{1200 \times 100}{100 + 20}$

• $= > \frac{120000}{120}$

___________________________________

• $= ₹1000$
