Question

Ram sold goods to Shyam at 10% profit. Shyam sold these goods further to Buburao at 20% profit. Baburao bough the goods for Rs 132, what is the cost of goods for Ram.

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of goods for Ram is Rs 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of goods for Ram be x.

Cost price for shyam be x+(x/10) = 11x/10

Cost price for Baburao = 11x/10 + (0.2*(11x/10)) = 132x/100

But Cost price for baburao = 132

So,

132x/100 = 132

So, x = 100

Answer 2

Answer:

The cost of goods for Ram is Rs. 100

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

We have,

Let CP(Cost price) of Ram be Rs. $x$

SP(Selling price) of Ram = 110% of Rs. $x$ = Rs 1.1 $x$

SP of Ram will be CP for shyam

so,

CP for shyaam= Rs 1.1 $x$

SP for shyaam= 120% of Rs 1.1 $x$= Rs 1.32 $x$

SP of shyam will be CP for baburao

so,

CP for baburao = Rs 1.32 $x$

Since it is given that CP of baburao is Rs 132

By, equating both

$1.32x=132\\x=100$

So, CP of Ram i.e. Rs. $x$ is Rs. 100

Hence, the cost of goods for Ram is Rs. 100
