Awholesaler sold an electric item to a retailer at 20% profit. the retailer sold it
for rs 2052 to a customer at 5% loss.
(i) how much did the retailer pay for it?
(ii) how much did the wholesaler pay for it?

(i) The retailer paid Rs 2160 for it

(ii) The wholesaler paid Rs 1800 for it

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of the electric item = Rs x

The wholesaler sold it at Rs (x + 0.2x) = 1.2x to make a gain of 20%.

The retailer sold it for Rs 2052 at a loss of 5%, so that;

1.2x - 0.05(1.2x) = 2052

1.2x - 0.06x = 2052

1.14x = 2052

x = 1800

∴ the original price of the electric item = Rs 1800

(I) Amount paid by retailer to the wholesaler = 1.2x

                                                                         = 1.2 (1800)

                                                                         = Rs 2160

(ii) Amount paid by the wholesaler is the original amount of the item = Rs 1800
