A mobile shopkeeper sells a mobile to Faizan at 15% profit and Faizan sells it to Alan at 10% profit. If Alan bought the mobile for Rs. 25300, how much did the shopkeeper pay for it? Correct Answer Rs. 20000
Cost price of Alan = 25300
Effective percentage = = 26.5%
Selling price of Shopkeeper = Cost price of Alan
Selling price of Shopkeeper = 25300
Let the Cost price of Shopkeeper be ‘x’
Thus, 126.5% of Cost Price = 25300
Cost price of Shopkeeper, x = = 20000
∴ The shopkeeper bought the mobile for Rs. 20000
