Question

Q. Suresh sells his goods 25 % cheaper than Mahesh and 25 % dearer than Ramesh. How much percentage is goods of Ramesh cheaper than Mahesh?

Answer 1

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

let price of Mahesh's goods = x

Price of Suresh's goods = x - 25x/100

= x - x/4

= 3x/4 ➡️ 1

Let price of Ramesh's goods = y

Price of Suresh's goods = y + 25y/100

= y+y/4

= 5y / 4 ➡️2

From eq 1 and 2

3x/4 = 5y / 4

3x = 5y

y = 0.6 x

y = 60% of x

% Cheaper = 100-60 = 40
