Answer 1

Answer:

P paid Rs168.75 for the article

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• P sells an article to Q at 10% profit
• Q sold it to R at 25% profit
• R payed Rs 250 for article

To find: Amount paid by P

Solution:

†According to the question†

→ Q sells it to R at 25% profit = Rs 250 ( Paid by R to Q)

$\small\implies{\sf }$ (100–25)% = 75%

So, Original cost of article paid by Q =

$\small\implies{\sf }$ 75% of 250

$\small\implies{\sf }$ 75/100 x 250

$\small\implies{\sf }$ 187.5

Hence, We get that P sold it to Q at 10% and Q paid Rs 187.5

Therefore,

$\small\implies{\sf }$ (100–10)% = 90%

or,

$\small\implies{\sf }$ 90/100 x 187.5

$\small\implies{\sf }$ Rs 168.75

Hence, P paid Rs 168.75
