Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Shirley buys a fax machine and sells it to Devi at a gain of 25% on the cost price.

Shirley buy price:: x

Devi buy price:: 1.25x

-----

devi then sells the fax machine to Amirah at a loss of 25% on the price which she buys it from shirley.

Amirah buy price = 0.75*1.25x

------

if amirah pays $360 for the fax machine,how much did shirley pay for it?

-----

Equation:

0.75*1.25x = 360

 

----

(3/4)(5/4)x = 360

----

(15/16)x = 360

x = (16/15)360

Ans: x = $384.00 (Price Shirley paid)
