X bought an article for 1900 and later sold it to Y at a profit of 5 per cent. Y used it for a period of two years and later sold it to Z at a loss of 20 per cent. For how much did Z get it
Answers
Answer:
Final ans. = 1596
Step-by-step explanation:
cost for X =1900
cost for Y = cost for X + 5%
= 1900 + 5%
= 1900 + 95
= 1995
cost for Z = cost for Y - 20%
= 1995 - 20%
= 1995 - 399
= 1596 --> Ans.
Answer: 1596
Given: X bought the article for = 1900
Profit % at at which x sold the article = 5%
CP at which x sold the article to y =profit/CP x 100 = profit percent
= profit/1900 x 100 = 5%
= profit/19 x 1 = 5%
= profit = 19 x 5% = 95
therefore, x sold the article to y in 1900+95 = 1995.
Loss percent to y of selling the article to z = 20%
thus, cost at which z bought the article = loss/CP x 100 =loss percent
= loss/1995 x 100 = 20%
= loss/1995 = 20/100 = 1/5
= loss = 1995 x 1/5 = 399
thus, the SP at which z bought the article = 1995-399 = 1596.
