Vedclass · Answer

(B) Let the cost price $(CP)$ of the pen for Seema be $Rs.\,x$.Seema sells it to Sapna at a profit of $25 \%$,so the $CP$ for Sapna is $x 	imes (1 + 0.25) = 1.25x$.Sapna sells it to Asha at a profit of $10 \%$,so the $CP$ for Asha is $1.25x 	imes (1 + 0.10) = 1.25x 	imes 1.1 = 1.375x$.Asha sells it to Kavita at a profit of $5 \%$,so the selling price $(SP)$ for Asha is $1.375x 	imes (1 + 0.05) = 1.375x 	imes 1.05 = 1.44375x$.Given that Asha sells it for $Rs.\,231$,we have:$1.44375x = 231$$x = \frac{231}{1.44375}$$x = 160$Therefore,the cost price at which Seema bought the pen is $Rs.\,160$.

Seema sells a pen to Sapna at a profit of $25 \%$. Sapna sells it to Asha at a profit of $10 \%$ and Asha sells it to Kavita at a profit of $5 \%$. If Asha sells it for $Rs.\,231$,find the cost price at which Seema bought the pen? (in $Rs.$)
