Question

Q.12 A sells an item at 20% profit to B, B sells the same at 10% profit to C and receives 1.32,000.0. Had C purchased the
same item from A, he would have spent 5% less than what he spent with B. What profit would A have made then?​

Answer 1

Answer:

32%

Step-by-step explanation:

c spent - 1,32,000

b profit 10 %of 1,32,000=13,200

b spent - 132000 -13,200=1,18,800

a profit - 20% of 1,18,800=23,760

a price - 1,18,800-23,760=95,040

if c purchased from a, cost less =5%of 1,32,000=6,600

c spent=1,32,000-6,600=1,25,400

a profit=1,25,400-95,040=30,360

a profit%=(30,360/95040)*100=31.944=32%

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the Question :

CP of item (cost price) for C

A sells an item at 20% profit to B

B sells the same at 10% profit to C

Formula used :

CP = SP × [100/(100 + Profit)]

Cost price of the item for B =

1,32,000 × (100/110)

= Rs. 1,20,000

Cost price of the items for A =

1,20,000 × (100/120) =

= Rs. 1,00,000

If C purchased the same item from A =

cost price for C = 1,32,000 × (95/100)

= Rs. 1,25,400

A's profit =

1,25,400 - 1,00,000

= Rs. 25,400

∴ A's profit = Rs. 25,400
