Ram sold tp shyam an article with 20 percent profit .Shyam sold same article for rs.504 with 5percent profit to ghanshyam.How did it cost for eam?​

Answer 1

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original cost price (CP) be x.

Selling price (SP) for Shyam (Shyam buying) =x(p100+1) where p is the profit percentage.

Selling price for Mohan =x(p100+1)(p100+1)

Selling price for Rakesh =x=(1−0.36)×x(p100+1)(p100+1)

⟹(p+100)2=100000.64

⟹p+100=1000.8=125

⟹p=25%
