Question

p sells an article to Q at 10%profit. Q sells to R at 25% of profit .if it pays 250rs fir it. what did p for it?

Answer 1

Answer:

R paid 250.

so, 250 ÷ 1.25 = 200 (Q paid to P)

and, 200 ÷ 1.10 = 181.81 (P paid)

let's reverse check to confirm:

181.81 + 10% = 199.99 = 200

200 + 25% = 250.

hence the answer is correct.
