Answer 1

Answer:

let the cost of electric item be Rs 100.

now,

wholeseller sold it to retailer at 20%profit.

therefore, the cost which retailer has to pay is equal to (100+20% of 100)

which is (100+ 20)= Rs120........1

now,

the retailer sold it for Rs 2052 and incurs a loss of 5%.

Using unitary method..

FOR RETAILER:

cost of 95 %of electric item = 2052(since he sold it at 5% loss)

therefore,

cost of 1%of electric item=(2052÷95)= Rs 21.6

therefore, cost of 100%=21.6×100= Rs2160

Reailer paid Rs 2160 for it . this is first answer.

FOR WHOLESELLER:

again using unitary method,

from 1 we get that

120 is equal to 2160 (cost which retailer paid)

1 is equal to (2160÷120)= 18

100 is equal to (18×100)=Rs 1800

therefore,

Wholeseller paid Rs 1800 for it.

Hope it helps
