Disha brought a dress at Rs.900. Vishal purchased it from Disha, with Disha earning a profit of 10% in the transaction. Now, Vilas purchases the same dress from Vishal at a loss of 20%. Vilas sold it to Raghav for Rs.500. Find the percentage of profit or loss earned by Vilas, when selling to Raghav (to the nearest integer value). Correct Answer 37

Price at which Disha purchased the dress = 900

Profit for Disha, when selling to Vishal = 10%

So, the SP for Disha =  × 900 = 990

Hence, CP for Vishal = Rs.990

Loss for Vishal on selling the dress = 20%

So, the SP for Vishal =  × 990 = 792

Hence, CP for Vilas = Rs.792

Also, SP for Vilas = Rs.500

Loss for Vilas =  × 100 = 36.87%

∴ The percentage of loss earned by Vilas is approximately 37%
