Last Answer : Answer: A Let the sums of money received by A, B and C be x, y and z respectively. Then x - 10 : y - 20 : z -15 is 11a : 18a : 24a When $10, $20 and $15 are removed, we are removing a total of $45 from ... or a= 20 We know that z - 15 = 24a = (24 * 20) = 480 Therefore, z = 480 + 15 = $495
Description : A man who makes a profit of 25 percent by selling sugar at Rs. 4.25/kg., lowers his price so as to gain only 5 paise per Kg. In what ratio must his sales be increased so that his total profit may be the same as before? a) 1 : 5 b) 1 : 11 c) 1 : 13 d) 1 : 17 e) 1 : 21
