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?
Answers
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%
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
