Question
'A' purchased an article and sold it to 'B' at 10%
profit. 'B' marked it up by 15% above the price at which 'A' has purchased it and then sold it after giving a discount of Rs. 496. If 'B' suffered a loss of 18% in the transaction, then find the cost price of the article for 'A'.Solution
Let the cost price of the article for A be Rs. x Therefore, cost price of the article for B = Rs. 1.1x Marked price of the article = Rs. 1.15x Selling price of the article for B = 0.82 × 1.1x = Rs. 0.902x According to the question, 1.15x – 0.902x = 496 Or, x = 496/0.248 = 2000 Therefore, cost price of the article for A = Rs. 2000
