1 Answer

Answer :

Let the original price of the necklace be Rs x and

Let the profit earned by the 3rd seller be P%

Then (100+P)% of 112.5% of 110% of x = 132.5% of x

(100+P/100)*(112.5/100)*(x) = 132.5/100*x

(100+P)*112.5*110 = 132.5 *100 *100*100/100

100+P = 132.5 *100*100/112.5 *110

=1325000/12375

100+P = 107.07

P= 107.07 – 100 = 7.07%

The percentage profit earned by the 3rd seller = 7%
