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

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 112.5%

Cost price of goods for A = 300 x (100/125) = 240

Cost price of goods for C = 300 x (90/100) = 270

Required percentage = (270/240) x 100 = 112.5
