Question

The price of a shirt is passing
through 2 hands, rises on whole by
50%. If the 1st seller earned 20%.
find % profit earned by 2nd seller?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the original price of jewel is P Rs and the profit earned by third seller is x%

Then according to the question

= (100+x)% of 125% of 120% 0f P=165% of P

[  (100+x)  / 100 ]×   125 / 100 × 120 /100 × p  = 165  / 100 p

100+x =  165×100×100 /  125×120

100+x=110

x=10

Hence, the profit earned by third seller is 10%
