sale price

A seels goods at prices which are 10% higher than what is marked on them. B sells at 15% less than the prices marked. For articles that are sold by A at rs. 550, B marks Rs. 600. At what price does B sell an article that is marked by A for Rs. 1000?
a. Rs. 1010
b. Rs. 1000
c. Rs. 1020
d. Rs. 1015

let A 's marked price be x

let A 's marked price be x then
sp=x+x 0f 10%
sp= 110x/100
110x/100=550  (given)
x=500

for B MARKED price =600

hence

% above mark price=600-500/500*100

=20%
B MARK PRICE
1000+1000*20/100=1200
SP OF B=1200-1200*15/100
=1200-180
=1020 ANS
