Question

'A' sells goods to 'B' at 25% profit for Rs.300. 'B' sells it to 'C' at 10% loss. In this sale, C's cost price is equal to what percent of A's cost price?

• A. 97.5%
• B. 110%
• C. 87.5%
• D. 112.5%

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 112.5%

1. Find A's cost price:

• Let A's cost price be 'x'.

• A sells to B at 25% profit, so B's cost price is 125% of A's cost price.

• 125% of x = Rs. 300

• (125/100) * x = 300

• x = (300 * 100) / 125 = Rs. 240

2. Find B's selling price (which is C's cost price):

• B sells to C at a 10% loss, so C's cost price is 90% of B's cost price.

• C's cost price = 90% of Rs. 300 = (90/100) * 300 = Rs. 270

3. Calculate the percentage of C's cost price to A's cost price:

• Percentage = (C's cost price / A's cost price) * 100

• Percentage = (270 / 240) * 100 = 112.5%

Therefore, C's cost price is equal to 112.5% of A's cost price.
