Selling price of scooter for Jaya = 32,750 × 112/100 = Rs. 36,680

Cost price of scooter for Rekha = Selling price of scooter for Jaya 

Cost price of scooter for Rekha = Rs. 36,680

Selling price of scooter for Rekha = 36,680 × 110/100 = Rs. 40,348

Cost price of scooter for Hema = Selling price of scooter for Rekha
