Question
'A' purchased an article and sold it to 'B' at 10%
profit. 'B' marked it up by 25% above the price at which 'A' has purchased it and then sold it after giving a discount of Rs. 846. If 'B' suffered a loss of 12% 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. 1.25x Selling price of the article for B = 0.88 × 1.1x = Rs. 0.968x According to the question, 1.25x – 0.968x = 846 Or, x = 846/0.282 = 3000 Therefore, cost price of the article for A = Rs. 3000
