    A manufacturer sells an item to a wholesale dealer at a profit of 18%. The wholesaler sells the same to a retailer at a profit of 20%. The retailer in turn sells it to a customer for Rs 15045 thereby earning a profit of 25%. The cost price of the manufacturer is:

    A)  Rs 8000           

    B)  Rs 8500

    C)  Rs 9000           

    D)  Rs 10000

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Let the CP of the item = Rs x then, 118% of 120% of 125% of x = 15045 \[\Rightarrow \frac{x=15045\times 100\times 100\times 100}{118\times 120\times 125}\]\[\]
