The Price Of A Jewel, Passing Through Three Hands, Rises On The Whole By 65%. If The First And Second Sellers Earned 20% And 25% Profit Respectively, Find The Percentage Profit Earned By The Third Seller?

Answer»

LETS assume the ORIGINAL PRICE of the jewel = Rs. P 

and profit earned by the third seller= x%.

Then, ( 100 +x )% of 125% of 120% of P = 165% of p

=> [ ( 100+x )/100*125/100*120/100* P ] = [ 165/100* P ]

=> ( 100 + X ) = (165*100*100)/(125*120) = 110,

=> X = 10%.
