Question

Vas sells an article to Radha at a profit of 20% Radha sells it to mans at a profit of 4% what does it cost vas if mans has paid ₹624

Answer 1

let vas cp=x
and , Radha's cp = x+x×20%
= x+x/5
=6x/5
so mans cp=6x/5 +6x/5 ×4%
=6x/5 + 6x/25
=36x/25
A/Q
36x/25=624
x=(624×25)÷36
=433

Answer 2

Answer:

Rs-500

Step-by-step explanation:

As We know that C.P.= S.P.\100+ GAIN OR LOSS×100

Radha sold the article to Mans at a profit of 20%

So, the C.P. of the article when Radha bought

= 624/104×100

=Rs-600 when Radha bought from Vas.

C.P. of the article when Vas bought

=600/120×100

=500.
