Question

three articles are sold for Rs.800.00 each. If one of these is sold at a loss of 20percentage at what price should the other two be sold to gain 25percent on the whole transaction?​

Answer 1

Answer:-

Let the C.p of 1st Article=X

A/Q X×80/100=800

So,X=1000

Cp.of 2nd Article=Y

Then A/Q Y×125/100=800

So,Y=640

As same 3rd Article=Z

So Z×125/100=800

Z=640

Now Total C.p=1000+800+800=26000

And Total S.p=800+800+800=24000

So Loss=2000

℅Loss=2000/26000×100=100/13℅
